Overview
Basics
Basics
This 42 acre project will create a 100 foot defensible space zone around the new State Park trailhead facility and other existing structures located in the Spooner Lake Management unit of Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park. A vegetation management plan was written for the area as part of the requirement to meet IWUIC. There is also a Defensible Space Plan and four fuel management zones. All roads are managed as fire lanes to help ensure public safety and allow firefighters safe ingress/egress in case of emergency. Thinning prescriptions will vary by fuel management zone to meet a range of management objectives. Increased visitation over the next decade will require more emphasis on public safety.

| 01/04/2023 12:18 PM | Anna Higgins | Crews continued hand thinning and chipping, hand thinning and pile building, and pile burning in 2022. A total of 25 piles on 5 acres was burned in December 2022, 21 acres were hand thinned and chipped, 8 acres were hand thinned and pile built, and 3 acres were logged as part of Phase II of the Spooner Front Country project. The logs from the logging project have been decked and NV State Parks is working on purchasing a portable sawmill and kiln as a demonstration project to utilize wood from fuels reduction projects & turn logs into wood products to use on park improvement projects. |
