Travel Management Plan (TMP) verses the EDAW Trails Planning Project – These are two totally separate projects! 
by Dan Nitzel, NOHVA Business Manager

The main issue that we are now concerned about is the Travel Management Plan (TMP).  One of the goals that we need to pursue AFTER the Travel Management Plan is in effect sometime in early 2010 is the Bessey EDAW Trails Plan.  This plan was completed last year and was requested by Nebraska National Forest Supervisors Office.  Projects like this are seldom requested above the local office, so it can be assumed that the plan has a credible amount of promise.  If the Bessey EDAW Trails Plan is implemented, it would greatly expand any of the trail systems proposed in the four Travel Management Plan alternatives.  The Bessey EDAW Trails Plan includes designs for ATV, dirtbike, UTV and Jeep trails that will be designated across the entire 92,000 acres at the Bessey Ranger District.
