Thanks to the Washoe Tribe Conservation Corps for all their progress on the California Tahoe Conservancy’s Elks Club Forestry Project. This morning, in chilly fall weather, members of the Corps were thinning trees on a forested Conservancy lot on Sawmill Drive.

The Elks Club Forestry project includes 321 Conservancy and 18 Forest Service open space lots in neighborhoods around Elks Club Drive and near the intersection of Pioneer Road and U.S. Highway 50 in El Dorado County.

Here, crew members are bucking lodgepole pines into firewood length rounds for public collection by people holding free Conservancy fuelwood collection permits. (Get your permit at tahoe.ca.gov/fuelwood-permit.) They’re piling branches and small diameter material for future prescribed burns. Their work is helping make these forested lands and the surrounding community more resilient to wildfire.

Lessons learned from the Caldor Fire about the importance of preparedness, forest management, and efforts by residents to make homes and yards more resistant to fire.

Five years after the Caldor Fire burned more than 220,000 acres in the Sierra Nevada, researchers are studying what helped protect the Christmas Valley and Meyers communities, and what could reduce wildfire impacts in the future.

As fall weather moves in, our forestry aides continue their work preparing future forestry projects. Here they are marking trees for future removal on California Tahoe Conservancy properties in the Carnelian Bay area of Placer County. They play a key role, advancing projects to improve forest health and wildfire resilience in the Lake Tahoe Basin.
