Tahoe Fund

Forest health: the tahoe fund provides grants to increase the pace and scale of forest restoration in the tahoe basin to prevent catastrophic wildfire. Some of the highlights included a pilot of the new burnbot remote masticator, funding for the undergrounding of power lines at glenbrook, filled a funding gap on a fuels project in north lake tahoe, supported a cultural fire training with the washoe tribe, and continued to support scholarships at the ltcc forestry program.

Recreation: the tahoe fund provides grants to critical environment improvement projects in lake tahoe that will create sustainable outdoor recreation. The tahoe fund provided funding for a number of sustainable recreation projects around the basin, including the extension of the east shore trail, restoration of 19 miles of trail on the tahoe rim trail in desolation wilderness, a reroute on the tyrolian downhill, and regular trail maintenance in partnership with tamba and tahoe rim trail.
