| − | Forest Reserve establishment began with the passage of the Forest Reserve Act of 1891, which allowed the President to establish Forest Reserves by executive order. In the last year of the 19th century, President McKinley created the "Lake Tahoe Forest Reserve" to conserve the remaining 37,000 acres of forests of the basin following the decades of logging for the Comstock mining boom. None of this acreage included any of the shoreline. The lands in the Lake Tahoe basin were split up between three national forests established about 8 years later.

| − | Nearly 70 years of National Forest management resulted in the acquisition of a significant amount of land added to the public ownership. Acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands is one important way to protect the lake. By the early 1970s the acreage of publically owned land in the basin had increased from 37,000 acres to 154,000 acres, some of which is located on the lake's shoreline. This additional land was acquired through land exchanges and purchases funded by the Land and Water Conservation Act of 1965.

| − | In 1973, this most unique area of America's National Forest System was established. The establishment of the LTBMU was not really the creation of a "new" National Forest, but rather an administrative re-organization of National Forest lands that had already existed in the Tahoe Basin since 1899. The National Forest lands of the basin were consolidated into the new Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU). This new and unusual sort of forest area would be small, just 154,000 acres, but the issues and public use of these lands is large. Up until the unit was created the management of National Forest lands was split up between 3 ranger districts, on 3 National Forests, the Tahoe, Eldorado and Toiyabe National Forests in 2 different Forest Service regions, the Pacific Southwest Region (R5) headquartered in Vallejo and the Intermountain Region (R4) headquartered in Ogden, Utah. As the pressures of growth and addressing water quality degradation in the basin created significant issues that made coordination between the 3 units difficult, if not impossible, and certainly inefficient. The National Forest lands in the basin needed one voice. A decision was made by the Forest Service to administratively place the basin portion of these 3 units under a Forest Supervisor and call this consolidated organization the "Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit." Several attempts have been made since to establish the "Lake Tahoe National Forest," but a bill doing such has never passed. The boundaries of this unit follow the watershed boundaries of the upper Truckee River and Lake Tahoe, which is the crests of the ridge around the lake, with a gap where the Truckee River flows down canyon from the lake.

| − | The purchase of sensitive parcels of private land for public ownership is more important than ever. In December of 1980 the Santini-Burton Act passed, which places the revenue from the sale of federal land in the Las Vegas Valley into a fund for land purchases and watershed restoration in the Lake Tahoe basin. Land in individual urban lots began to be purchased and to date, over 3,500 parcels (or Urban Lots) totaling 13,000 acres valued at $105 million have been acquired. As of 2014 National Forest land ownership has increased to 160,000 acres with 18% of the 72 miles of shoreline now part of the LTBMU.

| − | The LTBMU has a Fire Net and Admin Net. There are channels provided enabling direct or simplex communication on each net. The location and number of remote bases is unknown or how the dispatch center in Camino controls the two nets. The input tone of each repeater is transmitted on the output frequency.

| − | The unit identifier system for non fire personnel is unknown. As there are not any ranger districts on this "forest" many identifiers, for an unknown reason, begin with the number 4. There are 3 fire stations on the LTBMU, Meyers, William Kent and Spooner Summit. In the last 10 years the the LTBMU has been dispatched by the interagency dispatch center in Minden and the Tahoe National Forest-Cal Fire Nevada-Yuba-Placer Unit Emergency Command Center at Grass Valley. The LTBMU is now dispatched by the Cal Fire - Eldorado NF co-located communications center in Camino, just east of Placerville. The center's identifier is "Camino."
