Lake Tahoe West Landscape-Scale Restoration Partnership

The National Forest Foundation (NFF), the USDA Forest Service - Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU), and the California Tahoe Conservancy (CTC) have launched the Lake Tahoe West Collaborative to develop and implement a multi-jurisdictional, landscape-scale strategy that will restore and protect more than 60,000 acres on the California side of the Tahoe Basin, from Emerald Bay to Crystal Bay. This large-scale planning effort will be grounded upon input from key stakeholders and scientifically derived decision-support models incorporating water quantity/quality, carbon sequestration, climate change, fire and fuels, and wildlife habitat.
