November 30, 2016 was the inaugural meeting of the Lake Tahoe West Restoration Partnership.Modeled on the Sagehen Forest Project's successful collaboration:
"The goal of the Lake Tahoe West Restoration Partnership (Lake Tahoe West) -- a new interagency initiative of the California Tahoe Conservancy, U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, California State Parks, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, Tahoe Fire and Fuels Team, and National Forest Foundation -- is to restore the resilience of the west shore's forests, watersheds, recreational opportunities, and communities to such threats. The planning area includes 59,013 acres of federal, state, local, and private lands, from Emerald Bay to Squaw Valley."More info.

One really interesting thing about the initiative is that they funded artist Todd Gilens to participate in the process and respond to the issues. Sagehen encourages #ArtSciConverge efforts to bring larger audiences and new problem-solving strategies to the grand ecological challenges of the 21st century.
