Forest Seasonal Road Closures Extended

Sonora, CA — Stanislaus National Forest is extending its seasonal road closures through the end of the month.

Due to a late snow year and lingering damage to forest roads, acting Forest Supervisor Beth Martinez has issued a forest order continuing the seasonal road closures for affected roads in the Mi-Wok/Summit and Calaveras Ranger Districts through June 30.
