Overview

Basics

Basics
The Upper Haines Canyon Fuels Reduction Project is a 72 acre fuels reduction project located in Haines Canyon Nevada. Haines Canyon is a steep v-shaped canyon formed by Daggett Creek. The canyon runs from 4700 feet in elevation where it crosses Foothill Road and extends up to the summit of Kingbury Grade at an elevation of 7350 feet. The canyon extends from the Lake Tahoe Basin down to Carson Valley. As such, the valley is subject to diurnal winds typical of mountain canyons. The units within the project are designed to create survivable space around homes within the canyon and to further treat fuels located within Upper Haines Canyon.

Threshold Categories

  • This project will reduce tree stocking, reducing brush density and reintroducing fire to an area with steep south facing slopes that have not burned in decades. Additionally conifers will be removed from the stream environment zone in order to release riparian vegetation which is being over crowded. The entire project area provides critical mule deer winter habitat, thus this project is expected to provide new growth that will provide forage to the herd.
  • The project is located in critical mule deer winter range. This project will allow for new brush growth that will provide forage for the mule deer heard that winters the project and spends summer in the Tahoe Basin.
