The Forest | Tahoe Fund

The Problem

According to a report from Vibrant Planet, the Tahoe Basin has 22 million more trees than a healthy forest should. With this significant overcrowding putting the region at risk of catastrophic wildfire, the Tahoe Fund has made forest health our number one priority. Through our Smartest Forest Fund, we are investing in promising new ideas and innovative pilot projects that are helping to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire.

Fire Smart Community Pilots

This innovative pilot program is creating more fire-ready communities in Tahoe. By connecting local fire districts and residents with technologies such as BurnBot, Fire Aside, Vibrant Planet, and Xyloplan, the pilots are helping communities identify, prioritize, and implement the most effective actions to reduce wildfire risk.
