Upper Diamond Peak Hazardous Fuels Reduction and Healthy Forest Restoration Project

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.
