With our partner, the USFS – Tahoe National Forest (TNF) Truckee Ranger District, we are releasing an RFP to solicit bids to complete survey work for up to 5,345 acres on USFS-TNF lands.
The Truckee River Watershed Council (TRWC) seeks to hire a consultant to complete cultural and botanical resource surveys to inform necessary resource protection measures and presence of existing sensitive or invasive plants across 5,345 acres of USFS properties.
The purpose of the Project is to prepare the landscape for eventual forest health and fuels treatments that will enhance ecological function and reduce risk of fire, drought and disease across a large-landscape geography. The project scope includes preparation of environmental documents via completion field surveys, inventory/assessment, mapping development and report compilation to inform NEPA authorization.
