Overview

Basics

Basics
The Tahoe Resource Conservation District will deliver a coordinated Lake Tahoe Basin Fire Adapted Communities Project, including extensive community engagement, outreach, and assistance. Through the Tahoe Network of Fire Adapted Communities (Tahoe Network) efforts will result in increased wildfire prevention and preparedness through the completion of fire defensible space treatments reducing hazardous fuels on private parcels through community assistance and implementation of the Tahoe Network. Private parcel fuels reduction will be focused on communities where fuels reduction projects are planned in adjacent community forestry projects.
