It is a multiagency, multijurisdictional effort composed of the California Tahoe Conservancy, Sierra Nevada Conservancy, U.S.D.A. Forest Service, The Nature Conservancy, National Forest Foundation, and California Forestry Association. As a regional effort, TCSI is poised to elevate the needs of partners and local entities, lead regional coordination, and champion policies that advance forest restoration across landownerships.
