SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The California Tahoe Conservancy has begun its annual seasonal dog closure at the Upper Truckee Marsh. From May 1 through July 31, dogs may not access the sensitive habitat at the Marsh to protect birds and other wildlife during their breeding season.
The Conservancy-owned Cove East property, west of the Upper Truckee River, remains open for year-round leashed dog access. Beginning August 1, leashed dogs may again enter the Upper Truckee Marsh.
Conservancy staff and California Highway Patrol officers monitor these areas for compliance.
The Conservancy owns and manages 600 acres at the Marsh, one of the largest remaining in the Sierra Nevada, for the protection and enhancement of wildlife habitat and water quality.

The California Tahoe Conservancy is currently offering free firewood-gathering permits through its Community Firewood Program. Cut wood is available at many different locations where trees have been cut on its properties to reduce fire risk and improve forest health.

Fuelwood is collected on a first come first serve basis. Once a permit is issued there is no guarantee that fuelwood remains on the sites listed on the map. The map is updated all season long with new locations.
Each permit is valid for up to two cords of wood, with a limit of one permit per household. The Conservancy asks the public to respect the safety of the crews conducting field work by not picking up the wood until crews have left the site. Crews will place rounds by the side of the road after treatment.
