Damage to natural resources was recently discovered in South Lake Tahoe after an unknown person, or persons, was found to have driven on a meadow near Heavenly Creek off Pioneer Trail.
USFS is reminding everyone that it is against the law to cause resource damage, punishable by a fine of $5,000 or more, and/or six month in jail. They are also reminding drivers that they must stay on designated roads only.
The Forest Service employees will continue to monitor areas throughout the Lake Tahoe Basin for compliance in order to protect all natural resources.
