The USDA Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU) has received $850,000 from the first round of funding from the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) to work on five local projects. All of the planned projects will improve the visitor experience by reducing deferred maintenance and enhancing recreational infrastructure.
“The Great American Outdoors Act is a major investment in our public lands that will help us tackle deferred maintenance and infrastructure projects on National Forest lands at Lake Tahoe,” said Forest Supervisor, Bill Jackson. “Maintaining and improving our public facilities is a key factor in the Forest Service’s ability to deliver sustainable recreational benefits to the American public.”
