The Lake Tahoe Basin CWPP was completed in February 2025. The updated plan addresses the region’s evolving wildfire risks, focusing on fuels reduction, preparedness, structural ignitability, and wildfire response. The CWPP is a community-driven plan that prioritizes wildfire risk reduction, using local input and data to guide fuel reduction, improve preparedness, and address structural ignitability. 

Key Features: 

• Interactive Platform: Explore the CWPP on the ArcGIS Hub, featuring dynamic StoryMaps with maps, graphics, and other engaging resources. 

• Funding: In 2022, the California Tahoe Conservancy (Conservancy) awarded a California Department of Conservation Regional Forest and Fire Capacity grant to the Tahoe Resource Conservation District (Tahoe RCD) in coordination with the Tahoe Fire and Fuels Team to complete an update of the Basin’s CWPP. With the CWPP now finalized, agencies, land managers, and communities have a strategic framework to pursue funding for implementing critical wildfire mitigation actions across the Basin.

• Community Involvement: The updated CWPP reflects extensive community input from public meetings, a Basin-wide survey and a public comment period  allowing residents and stakeholders to review and provide feedback on the draft plan. Public engagement was instrumental in shaping the plan to address the region’s most pressing wildfire risks. As implementation moves forward, ongoing collaboration will remain key to reducing wildfire resilience.
