The U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit will begin post-Angora Fire restoration work on Angora Creek this week.

The project is designed to enhance approximately two miles of stream by placing downed logs to prevent future channel erosion. This should improve aquatic habitat for fish and amphibians.

Hand crews will do the work using dead and downed logs from the adjacent forest to replace logs that were lost next to the creek during the fire. Chain saw work will occur where needed. No live trees will be cut.

Work is expected to be finished by the end of September.
