The Plumas National Forest has reduced speed limits on Forest Road 28N01 to 15 miles per hour due to safety concerns near the new Rainbow Family Gathering location.

Representatives from the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Department of Natural Resources, National Guard, and others briefed Governor Lombardo on various issues impacting the wildfire season.

The Forest Service is looking for volunteers in the Lake Tahoe area for the Desolation Wilderness Volunteer Team.

Amy Berry, the CEO of Tahoe Fund, recently published an Op-Ed in the Daily Tahoe Tribune titled 'Losing the trees for the forest,' in which she emphasizes that the high density of trees in forests is causing them to die.

Christmas tree permits are available for purchase at multiple Forest Service offices and can also be ordered online.

Participants must be intermediate level skiers/boarders or above and provide their own lift ticket.

These investments will directly benefit at-risk communities and critical infrastructure across 11 additional landscapes.

The idea is to focus on 'hotspots' that make up only a small portion of fire-prone areas.

Field trips are approximately three hours long and will be offered Mondays and Wednesdays, excluding holidays.

 The 76,788-acre Mosquito Fire is now 100% contained.
