Slaughterhouse Healthy Forest Restoration and Fuels Reduction Project

Conduct hazardous fuel reduction and forest ecosystem health treatments in the Slaughterhouse area on the east shore of the Lake Tahoe Basin. These fuel reduction treatments would cover the National Forest areas and would focus on the Urban Wildland Interface adjacent to the Glenbrook Community and the Highway 28 corridor. Treatments would reduce the level of hazardous fuels within the defense and threat zones. This includes the use of mechanical harvesters and chainsaws for thinning to reduce live tree densities and mechanical chipping to reduce the amount of existing dead and down biomass. Included in project implementation is contract administration and project monitoring. Project
