September 24th Campground Clean-up Postponed - Thursday, September 15, 2011
Our campground clean-up for Sept. 24th has been postponed until next spring.

We decided with school and hunting seasons coming up that everyone was too busy to take on this project on short notice. We will start a number of projects next spring and would like anyone who is interested to send Marnie Allbritten their e-mail addresses so that we can contact everyone in a timely fashion with all the volunteer opportunities we have planned for next spring and summer.

Contact Marnie at marnie59@jeffnet.org and she will add you to the new volunteer list.

Until then, Happy Hunting everyone. We'll see you in the New Year.

TRAVEL MANAGEMENT UPDATE
Recent new developments have occurred with the US Forest Service’s Travel Management Plan. At a recent meeting with Cliff Dils of the Forest Service, OHA representatives were notified that the Forest Service will not be making a final decision on the previous plan that was being considered for finalization in 2010.
However, the Forest Services is moving forward with a new Motorized Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) that will change all ML1 roads to motorized trails. These trails will be open to those motorized vehicles that are 50 inches or less in size. A new map will be issued in early April with the new changes to the ML1 road status and also to the overland travel and camping restrictions.
OHA will be continuing to do road truthing as we have been told by the Forest Service that the information that we gather will be considered in the development of new maps. We are in need of additional volunteers to help with this process. If you are interested in volunteering for this extremely important project please contact a board member regarding training and the possibility of fuel reimbursement.

UMPQUA CHAPTER STARTS YEAR OFF WITH UPDATE ON STATEWIDE ISSUES
It is January and that means that general membership meetings have once again begun for the Umpqua Chapter. As you saw in the January newsletter there is a wide range of topics that will covered over the coming months at the general membership meetings and we hope that you will be able to join us.
On January 18th 30 OHA Umpqua chapter members gathered at the ODFW offices on Diamond Lake Boulevard to hear an OHA status update from OHA President Fred Craig and Southwest Director Bob Loper. Both Fred and Bob gave updates about a variety of on-going issues around the state, such as a possible nutrition study to be done on Elk populations, Wolf management issues and the concerns of state versus federal control, affects of Bear populations on the deer and an update on several new Senate Bills.
It was a great presentation with a lot of information. Thank you to both Fred and Bob for taking time out of their very busy schedules to come and speak with us and helping to keep us informed.
UNLUCKY WINNER- We unfortunately did not start the year off the way we would have liked. As in years past we have a great riffle up for grabs but you must be in attendance at the meeting to win. Sorry Spencer Sulfridge you could have been the lucky recipient. Better Luck next time!
