Consortium to address West Shore forest health
The Lake Tahoe West Restoration Partnership’s inaugural meeting is Nov. 30 from 10am-3pm at the 89 Bar Conference Room in the North Lodge at Homewood Mountain Resort.
The goal of Lake Tahoe West, a new interagency initiative of the California Tahoe Conservancy, U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, California State Parks, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, Tahoe Fire and Fuels Team, and National Forest Foundation, is to restore the resiliency of forests and watersheds on the West Shore.
This first meeting will focus on learning about each other’s backgrounds and interests, reviewing the initial findings from a stakeholder assessment, reviewing a draft charter and proposed project boundary, and reviewing the initiative’s overall timeline. Stakeholders represent a range of interests in the west shore’s forests and watersheds, including air quality, biomass, business, tourism and resorts, conservation, cultural resources, fire protection, forest products and contracting, homeowners and private landowners, land management, public utilities, recreation, regulation, transportation and access, and water resources.
RSVP by Nov. 24, 2016, is requested (not required) to help ensure sufficient seating and copies of materials. Lunch is not provided.
