The Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District will treat approximately 17 acres of US Forest Service lands to the South and East of the Skyland community. Treatment will consist of hand treatment and forest fuels mastication to create a “Shaded Fuel Break” as defined by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group; Fuel breaks built in timbered areas where the trees on the break are thinned and pruned to reduce the fire potential yet retain enough crown canopy to make a less favorable microclimate for surface fires.

Threshold Categories
-
The Skyland Community sits just North of a popular beach attraction. Thousands of visitors a year utilize US HWY 50 to access the lakes beaches. This project aims to enhance the scenic view on the HWY corridor while decreasing the hazardous fuel loading for the community of Skyland and visitors to the area.
