The California Tahoe Conservancy and USDA Forest Service will implement a coordinated hazardous fuels reduction strategy in community forests on the California side of the Lake Tahoe Basin through a $4.3 million cooperative agreement awarded by the Bureau of Land Management Nevada Region. Under the six-year award beginning August 2022 through the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act program (CFDA 15.235), the awardees will reduce hazardous fuels on 650-850 acres of small, forested parcels across public and private ownerships interspersed in neighborhoods. The proposed treatments encompass approximately 2,400 individual public open space lots and undeveloped private lots connected to the defensible space of 2,000 homes and other structures. The Conservancy will leverage its de minimis indirect cost rate for the project, which does not duplicate funding from other federal sources.
