As fall weather moves in, our forestry aides continue preparing future forestry projects - here, marking trees for removal on Tahoe Conservancy properties in Carnelian Bay. Their work helps advance projects to improve forest health and wildfire resilience in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

At French Meadows, partners are using mechanical treatments, hand work, and prescribed fire to restore forest health and reduce the risk of future high-intensity #wildfire. The project also demonstrates how #forestrestoration can benefit wildlife and water quality.

Free firewood is still available for community members on select California Tahoe Conservancy properties, particularly in west shore neighborhoods such as Tahoe Pines, McKinney-Rubicon, and Tahoma. Get the details and your free fuelwood permit at tahoe.ca.gov/fuelwood-per....
