Overview
Basics
Basics
Decades of fire suppression and increased development in forested areas have led to overstocked stands that present extreme fire risks to the Incline Village community and surrounding land. This project will reduce hazardous fuels and restore forest health on 65 ac. of Incline Village's Diamond Peak Ski Resort property. The project complements previous, ongoing and planned fuels treatments as part of a larger cross-boundary forest management strategy, which will contribute $4.6 million in match/leverage. Reducing fuels in this FAP Priority Area will lower the probability of catastrophic wildfire, protecting local communities while fostering a more resilient, sustainable forest.

Threshold Categories
-
Project Outcomes: 1. Reduced risk of uncharacteristic, catastrophic wildfires throughout the project area, which also reduces risk to adjacent forestlands and the community of Incline Village. 2. Improved forest health resulting from insect and disease mitigation. Removing unhealthy trees protects both the project area and surrounding stands. 3. Conservation of an important ecosystem through sustainable forest management. 4. Increased ability to sequester carbon and adapt to climate change.

| 12/22/2023 3:02 PM | Jason Furmaniak | Pile burning operations were conducted on 33.2 acres in December 2023 completing this project. The total acres treated for this project is 65.3 acres. | ||
| 01/18/2022 3:25 PM | April Shackelford | The Rifle Peak Hand Crew became available late in the 2021 field season and completed hand thinning on the 32.2 acre DP 21 Unit on November 13, 2021. Of the four treatment units, this one was the most heavily stocked with hazardous fuels. With 8.5 of those acres completed early in the field season and 23.7 acres at the very end of the field season. Their availability was complicated by a demanding fire season and other project work. Due to the presence of cultural debitage, crews did not remove fuels within 15’ of the Flume Trail and piled materials at least 30’ away to comply with avoidance protocols as advised by the Nevada State Historical Preservation Office. Further, due to the presence of a high elevation aspen stand additional conifer removal took place to better support the health and resilience of the aspen. Planning for signage at the ski area is underway and it is looking probable that crews will finish hand thinning by the end of the 2022 field season. |
