Dollar Property
Tahoe RCD biologists conducted surveys for avian and bat species during spring and summer 2020 at the California Tahoe Conservancy Dollar property located in Tahoe City, California. Surveys targeting California spotted owl and northern goshawk were conducted to determine nesting status prior to fuels reduction treatments scheduled for summer 2021. Baseline data from bat acoustic surveys conducted prior to fuels treatments is critical for protecting the Tahoe Basin’s rich bat biodiversity and the important role they play in the ecosystem.
