The Ladybug Forest Health Project, led by the National Forest Foundation (NFF), spans 2,500 acres in the Truckee Ranger District of the Tahoe National Forest. Located near Stampede Reservoir, the project focuses on hazardous fuels reduction through forest thinning, biomass removal, and other treatments to reduce catastrophic wildfire risk. The project will improve water supply and quality by removing encroaching conifers, enhancing snowmelt infiltration, and restoring degraded roads in the Hoke Valley drainage. It is supported by the Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA) and has catalyzed the Middle Truckee River Watershed Forest Partnership to address watershed restoration.
