South Lake Tahoe, CA…The U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit will host an open house to discuss the proposed management of 1,138 acres of National Forest System lands above Incline Village, Nevada, on Thursday, December 21, 2017, from 3 – 6 p.m. at The Chateau, 955 Fairway Blvd., Incline Village, NV 89451. For requests for reasonable accommodation access to the facility or proceedings, contact Adrian Escobedo at 530-543-2758 or email aescobedo02@fs.fed.us.

The Forest Service is seeking comments on the proposed Incline Management Plan, which proposes project-specific activities to establish National Forest System standards for streams and habitat, recreation, road and trail management under the LTBMU Land Management Plan. The planning effort also proposes a Forest Plan amendment to modify a portion of the project area from a general conservation management area to a backcountry management area.

Comments during this initial round of public input will be most helpful if received by January 5, 2018. To review the scoping letter and proposed action, visit http://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/ltbmu/InclineMgmt.
