Seasonal Road Closures Extended For Forest
Sonora, CA — Stanislaus National Forest is extending seasonal road closures for a month and a half beginning tomorrow.
Today, acting Stanislaus National Forest Supervisor Jim Junette issued a forest order extending the seasonal road closures for damaged roads in the Mi-Wok, Summit, Groveland, and Calaveras Ranger Districts. It begins tomorrow, Tuesday, April 15, and runs through Sunday, May 31. According to forest officials, the move comes after a late snow year that is creating ongoing damage to forest roadways.
