The California Tahoe Conservancy will reduce hazardous fuels on 950 to 1,250 acres of high-priority wildland urban interface areas on the California side of the Lake Tahoe Basin through a $5.99 million cooperative agreement award from the Bureau of Land Management under the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act. Focusing on three geographic regions, the Conservancy will treat Conservancy-owned parcels over one acre adjacent to communities to reduce catastrophic wildfire threats, protect life and property, and improve forest health and resilience to climate change impacts. Funding will be used to carry out hazardous fuels reduction activities on the highest risk areas as identified in the agreement between August 2022 and August 2028.
