Mutushahoo Watah: Trout Creek Meadow Restoration

The Lake Tahoe Community College is interested in reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfire, improving hydrologic function, and restoring lost habitat in the Trout Creek Meadow between Hwy 50 and Black Bart Ave. Ecosystem restoration will include the removal of ~20 acres of lodgepole pine that have encroached upon the meadow surface, the installation of fish habitat structures, and the use of traditional ecologic knowledge and cultural burning practices. This project is part a larger effort to reconnect Indigenous Communities with the landscape and increase the diversity of native plants, habitat, & culturally significant species.
