Nevada City, Calif. January 8, 2020 – The Tahoe National Forest will be hosting several public information meetings this month to discuss a proposed amendment to the Tahoe National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. Presentations and discussions at the public meeting will cover:

•  - The historic and present role of natural fire within the Tahoe National Forest
•  - Details of the proposed amendment that would expand opportunities to use naturally ignited, lightning-caused wildfires (natural fire) to achieve multiple resource benefits
•  - The process for amending the Tahoe National Forest Land and Resources Management Plan
• ​
  

The Tahoe National Forest is initiating scoping for a proposed amendment to the Tahoe National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan that would expand opportunities for using natural fire to achieve multiple resource benefits, including enhancing forest resilience; reducing the risk for large, damaging wildfires; stabilizing carbon storage; improving watershed health and function; and protecting public health and safety.

Trail notice - please do not ride on California loop until further notice. There is an impassable slide about half way down trail near Peachstone creek and the trail is also not safe from Ford's bar to Sandy Bottoms due to trees down and erosion from winter storms. The trails team has trained trail stewards in place who are organizing to fix these locations and we will notify you when these repairs have been made.

As a reminder, El Dorado Canyon from Deadwood to El Dorado Creek is also not currently safe for horses until trail repairs have been made. Thank you for respecting the trails and staying safe.

If you would like to assist, we annually spend about $30,000 on trail maintenance and repairs. Winter and Spring are our busiest seasons clearing downed trees and repairing the trail bed as needed. We appreciate your support.

Please contact the Western States Trail Foundation for any further information or to support their organization.
