This Northern Nevada-based business processes salvaged timber from forests in the Tahoe Basin, supporting wildfire fuel reduction efforts. The USDA is providing Tahoe Forest Products with two $25 million loans to expand its processing capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past 20 years, wildfires have burned <a href=\"https:\/\/nifc.maps.arcgis.com\/apps\/dashboards\/64aef08deef0478ba281844a6d570897\">8.8 million<\/a> acres in the state of Nevada. Wildfire season has only gotten longer and more severe, and Western communities desperately need more support combating this growing challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTahoe Forest Products has been a leader in promoting forest health in the Tahoe basin, with their lumber processing playing a direct role in alleviating wildfire impacts. As wildfires continue to get worse year after year, it is critical that we support industries working to protect our communities,\u201d <strong>dijo el Senador Rosen.<\/strong> \u201cNot only will this funding help reduce wildfire risk, but it will also spur economic growth and support our local businesses. I\u2019m thrilled that this funding is coming to Nevada, and will continue to support initiatives to protect our forests and fight the growing threat of wildfires.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWildfire prevention requires all hands on deck: local governments, community organizations, and our private partners,\u201d <strong>said Senator Cortez Masto. <\/strong>\u201cTahoe Forest Products not only creates sustainable, made-in-Nevada goods, but it also plays a critical role in keeping our communities safe. I\u2019m proud that the USDA is helping to expand this important work, and I\u2019ll continue fighting to support innovative solutions to the crises facing Nevada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senators Rosen and Cortez Masto are consistent champions of Nevada\u2019s outdoor spaces, including the Lake Tahoe Basin.
