- Document Description
- DPR proposes to move forward the overall goal of using prescribed fire as a means of restoring fore to its essential role in the ecosystems within California State Parks of the Sierra District, and to reduce fuel loads and wildfire hazard. Fire history research in the Tahoe basin indicates that frequent, low intensity fires shaped forest structure, composition, and resilience prior to European settlement. During the past 100+ years, logging, grazing, fire suppression, and other human activities have greatly altered the fire regime and increased fuel loading in Tahoe basin forests. Much of basin was cut over during a short period of time with near clear cut logging prior to 1900. This logging resulted in a wide divergence from historic forest conditions and what we see today is an even-aged forest dominated by white fir which is still in the process of intense competition and self-thinning. The critical objective of this project is to continue the implementation of a long-term fire and fuels management program on areas that have been previously treated, which includes re-burn of previously treated and previously burned sites.
