Ward Creek Restoration Project

The Ward Creek Restoration Project aims to restore natural ecosystem functions by removing encroaching conifers, regrading land to eliminate outdated roads, and strategically placing wood and vegetation to enhance habitat, stabilize streambanks, and rewet the meadow. These actions are designed to increase climate resilience, improve water quality, and boost wildlife habitat and biodiversity in the area. The project emphasizes long-term ecological recovery through landscape-scale interventions that mimic natural processes and support sustainable watershed health. The initiative is managed by the Tahoe Conservancy under the state of California, with planning and coordination led by Associate Environmental Planner Jen Greenberg, who can be contacted at jen.greenberg@tahoe.ca.gov or 530-543-6060. Though the solicitation number and NAICS code are not provided, the project is listed as a forecast with a posted date of June 19, 2026, and more details are available through the California Environmental Quality Act network at the provided UI link. The work will occur within California, with no specific city or zip code identified for the place of performance.
