Basics
Hand thinned and chipped bark beetle killed trees along the East Shore trail in Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park. Chipping of bark beetle infested trees reduces the bark beetle populations and offers protection to the remaining trees. Felling of dead trees along the East Shore Trail eliminates hazards to the public. Several logs from the project were placed as log erosion barriers, for restoration of eroded slopes due to off-trail lake access.

Threshold Categories
-
This project reduces forest fuels through hand thinning and chipping bark beetle killed trees. During this process overwintering bark beetles are killed, which prevents the spread of these beetles and reduces additional tree mortality.
-
Logs from bark beetle trees were placed perpendicular across an eroding slope above Lake Tahoe, as log-erosion barriers. This is the fist phase of restoration of a site being degraded from off-trail lake access from the East Shore Trail.
