Tahoe National Forest seeks public feedback on proposed wildfire risk mitigation projects

Interested individuals are invited to provide feedback on Tahoe National Forest’s Pliocene Ridge Project and Forty-Niner Gold Project by April 25, 2025. The projects aim to reduce wildfire risks by establishing fuel breaks on critical access roads on National Forest land adjacent to the communities of Alleghany, Bassetts, Downieville, Pike and Sierra City. 
 
Removing vegetation and hazard trees will help residents and visitors drive safely out of the area while reducing the danger and difficulty of suppressing future wildfires.

• Mail: Tom Parrack, Yuba River District Ranger, c/o Karen Walden, Forest Environmental Coordinator, 631 Coyote Street, Nevada City, California, 95959
