LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – The California Tahoe Conservancy will begin coordinating surveys on 57 of its properties this year and wants to let neighbors know what to expect.
The Conservancy is a state agency with a mission to lead California’s efforts to restore and enhance the extraordinary natural and recreational resources of the Lake Tahoe Basin. The Conservancy manages and protects about 4,700 properties, totaling about 6,900 acres, throughout the California side of the Basin for open space, wildlife habitat, and recreation. The surveys help the Conservancy determine the location and extent of encroachments, prepare for forest health projects to reduce wildfire risk for neighbors, and manage natural resources to benefit wildlife.
If you live in the neighborhood of one of the properties to be surveyed, here is what to expect:
If winter weather conditions delay the surveying process, activities may continue in spring or summer 2027.
The Conservancy is working with a registered land surveyor to locate existing land survey monuments and install any missing land survey monuments on state land.
The surveyor anticipates beginning these surveys this year.
