The meadow near Heavenly Creek off Pioneer Trail in South Lake Tahoe was recently damaged by someone driving on it.
If the person is caught, he or she could face a citation punishable by a fine of $5,000 or more and/or six months in jail.
The U.S. Forest Service said it will continue to monitor areas throughout the Lake Tahoe Basin for compliance to protect natural resources.
