The USDA Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU) is seeking public comments on a proposal to remove hazardous trees from the Caldor Fire area. The Tahoe Basin Caldor Hazard Tree and Fuels Reduction Project would improve safety and reduce fuel loading by removing fire-killed trees or those likely to die because of fire damage as well as other trees that pose a hazard to roads, trails, private property boundaries and developed recreation sites impacted by the Caldor Fire. The proposed project aligns with the recently announced 10-year strategy to confront the wildfire crisis in areas adjacent to national forests where wildfires pose the most immediate threat. Read more on the strategy here.
Comments are most useful if submitted by March 14, 2022, at 11:59 p.m., PST. For more information on the project, contact Aimee Lorincz at aimee.lorincz@usda.gov.
