Executive Summary The Tahoe National Forest (TNF) is managed by the United States Forest Service (USFS) which is a federal agency in the Department of Agriculture. National Forest System (NFS) lands are generally managed with similar goals and objectives as the Beneficial Public Values (BPVs) identified for Stewardship lands. Some of the laws requiring the protection of these values include the National Forest Management Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Multiple Use Sustained Yield Act, Endangered Species Act, Clean Water Act, National Historic Preservation Act, and Archaeological Resources Protection Act. The Forest Service was established in 1905. The Forest Service manages 193 million acres of public lands, known collectively as the National Forest System. Currently, a critical emphasis of the USFS is to retain and restore ecological resilience of the NFS lands to achieve sustainable ecosystems that provide a broad range of services to humans and other organisms.

To accelerate reforestation, brush must be removed, HOW THE “PENNY PINES” the sites prepared, and seedlings planted. Over the last twenty years wildfires have burned an average of PLANTATION WORKS 100,000 acres of National Forest land in California each year. Fortunately, natural reseeding occurs on some of this burned land. But much of it must be replanted. Briefly, the plan is this. Under a Conservation Agreement, you or your organization contributes $68 toward the cost of planting seedlings on The present Forest Service program for replanting brushfields and about one acre of National Forest land in California. Using your recently burned areas can only accomplish a small part of what is donation together with Federal funds, the Forest Service will do the needed to do the job.

  • Sierra Nevada Mountain Yellow-Legged Frog
    BEFORE THE SECRETARY OF INTERIOR CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL ) PETITION TO LIST THE SIERRA DIVERSITY AND PACIFIC RIVERS ) NEVADA MOUNTAIN YELLOW- COUNCIL ) LEGGED FROG (RANA MUSCOSA) AS ) AN ENDANGERED SPECIES UNDER ) THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT Petitioners ) ________________________________ ) February 8, 2000 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Center for Biological Diversity and Pacific Rivers Council formally request that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (“USFWS”) list the Sierra Nevada population of the mountain yellow-legged frog (Rana muscosa) as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act (“ESA”), 16 U.S.C. § 1531 - 1544. These organizations also request that mountain yellow- legged frog critical habitat be designated concurrent with its listing. The petitioners are conservation organizations with an interest in protecting the mountain yellow-legged frog and all of earth’s remaining biodiversity. The mountain yellow-legged frog in the Sierra Nevada is geographically, morphologically and genetically distinct from mountain yellow legged frogs in southern California. It is undisputedly a “species” under the ESA’s listing criteria and warrants recognition as such. The mountain yellow-legged frog was historically the most abundant frog in the Sierra Nevada. It was ubiquitously distributed in high elevation water bodies from southern Plumas County to southern Tulare County. It has since declined precipitously. Recent surveys have found that the species has disappeared from between 70 and 90 percent of its historic localities. What populations remain are widely scattered and consist of few breeding adults. Declines were first noticed in the 1950's, escalated in the 1970's and 1980's, and continue today. What was recently thought to be one of the largest remaining populations, containing over 2000 adult frogs in 1996, completely crashed in the past three years; only 2 frogs were found in the same area in 1999.
