Document Description
The Sierra Nevada Conservancy would provide funding in the amount of $362,538 to the non-profit Truckee River Watershed Council for forest management and restoration activities on approximately 18,000 acres of the Tahoe National Forest and Cal. Department of Fish and Wildlife lands.
The project would result in minor alterations to the condition of land, water, and/or vegetation associated with noxious weed management activities on 18,000 acres, including surveying noxious weed concentrations, removal of noxious weeds on 1,500 acres, and planting native plants in areas of recently completed forest health and watershed improvement sites. The project includes integrated management practices that would avoid significant impacts on the environment.
