Tragically, wildfire can’t always be stopped, no matter how well we prepare. To date, the Caldor Fire has destroyed hundreds of structures. Our hearts go out to everyone who has been impacted by this tragic event.
Prolonged droughts, intense winds and weather, and extreme wildfires pushed by climate change are now a fact of life in the Sierra. To improve our odds of withstanding the next fire, there’s so much more work that needs to be done.
The League will be there every step of the way, supporting science to better understand how fire effects Lake Tahoe, lobbying for funding, and working across borders to ensure large-scale forest management and ecosystem restoration work gets on the ground without delay – once the fire is out and all are safe.
Your continued support of our work ensures that forest management is informed by the best science, so Tahoe can be resilient in this new wildfire reality.
Please stay prepared. The Caldor fire isn’t fully contained yet, and fire season is far from over. Continue to use the resources we've assembled, stay vigilant and stay safe.
