Project Overview
Basics
Community Forestry and Fire Protection
Implementation
The member organizations of the Tahoe Fire and Fuels Team are partnering to implement a comprehensive, coordinated management strategy across 12,000 acres of community forests in the Lake Tahoe Basin. These forests contain over 15,000 federal, state, local government, and privately managed vacant lots interspersed among homes and critical infrastructure. The project enables all-lands defensible space, fuel reduction and forest restoration throughout vulnerable neighborhoods in the wildland-urban interface. Through public-private partnerships, residents are engaged in stewardship and monitoring, and efficiency is improved by prioritizing and sharing resources across jurisdictions.
