Tahoe Sierra Wildfire Resilience Collaborative

The Tahoe Sierra region spans millions of acres, dozens of jurisdictions, and countless ongoing resilience efforts. But without increased investments to build capacity, individual projects can fall short of the regional impact the landscape demands. 

CWI helped lead the Tahoe Sierra Wildfire Resilience Collaborative (Collaborative) — a cross-boundary initiative spanning 2.4 million acres across four national forests, two states, 12 counties, and five watersheds. The Collaborative aligns regional partnerships, projects, resources, and funding toward shared wildfire resilience goals; surfaces opportunities to share knowledge and solutions across the region; and connects SPARK projects funded by the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation into a coherent framework designed to identify best practices and scalable strategies applicable across the Western U.S. and Canada. 

THE IMPACT: Regional coordination that turns isolated projects into a unified resilience strategy, accelerating durable, broad-scale wildfire resilience across one of the West’s most ecologically critical landscapes.
