New USFS Forest Supervisor selected for Lake Tahoe Basin

The Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU) of the U.S. Forest Service has a new deputy forest supervisor on board. Teresa McClung started the new job last week after being the District Ranger for the Stanislaus National Forest for the past seven years.

“We are excited that Teresa has joined our dedicated and experienced basin team,” said Forest Supervisor, Jeff Marsolais. “Her educational background and experience as a landscape architect will greatly complement the significant, large landscape work underway here in the Lake Tahoe Basin.”

McClung began her career as a landscape architect on the Siskiyou National Forest in Southern Oregon and also worked for the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie and Cibola National Forests. She is an experienced recreation and National Environmental Policy Act planner, and has also worked as a resource management officer, community college instructor and with private planning and engineering firms in the San Francisco Bay Area.

“I’m pleased to have been selected to help lead this complex, high profile unit and am looking forward to working collaboratively through new and existing partnerships to accomplish landscape restoration here in the basin,” said McClung. “I’m also excited about relocating to an area with so many diverse recreational opportunities as beautiful Lake Tahoe.”
