The establishment of Forest Reserves began with the passage of the Forest Reserve Act of 1891, allowing Presidents to establish Forest Reserves by proclamation.  In 1899 President William McKinley created the Lake Tahoe Forest Reserve, including the core of the National Forest land in the Tahoe Basin, an area of about 37,000 acres, following the decades of logging for the Comstock mining boom. None of this acreage included any of the shoreline. About 8 years later three separate forests were developed out of the reserve, the Tahoe, Eldorado and Toiyabe National Forests. Each of these forests extended into the basin and managed separate sections.  
+
The forest was formed in 1905 when it was named one of the Forest Reserves, which were all renamed "National Forests" in 1907.  It is named after pioneer Peter Lassen, who mined, ranched and promoted the area to emigrant parties in the 1850s.  The size of the Lassen National Forest is 1.2 million acres.  The Forest lies at the heart of one of the most fascinating areas of California, called the Crossroads.  Here the granite of the Sierra Nevada, the lava of the Cascades and the Modoc Plateau, and the sagebrush of the Great Basin meet and blend. It is an area of great variety, greeting visitors and residents alike with a wide array of recreational opportunities and adventures. Fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, bicycling, boating, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and just exploring and learning about nature are among the many popular pastimes.
  
−
By the mid 1960s 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.

Within the Lassen National Forest you can explore a lava tube or the land of Ishi, the last survivor of the Yahi Yana Native American tribe; watch pronghorn antelope glide across sage flats or an osprey snatch fish from lake waters; drive four-wheel trails into high granite country appointed with sapphire lakes or discover spring wildflowers on foot.
  
−
In 1973, this most unique area of America's National Forest System was established. The establishment of the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (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.  Up until the unit was created, the management of National Forest land was split up between 3 ranger districts, the Lake Valley (Eldorado), Truckee (Tahoe) and the Carson (Toiyabe) Ranger Districts, on 3 National Forests, the Eldorado, Tahoe 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.  The pressures of growth, increased recreation use and water quality degradation in the basin created significant issues that made coordination between the 3 units difficult, if not impossible, and at the least inefficient.  The National Forest land 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 one Forest Supervisor and call this consolidated organization the "Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit."  The name "Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit" was originally a temporary one, but after 4 decades, the name remains.  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 crest of the ridge around the lake, with a short gap where the Truckee River flows down canyon from the lake.
+
The forest has 92,000 acres of old growth. The common tree species are Douglas fir (''Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii''), Ponderosa pine (''Pinus ponderosa''), White Fir (''Abies concolor''), Jeffrey pine (''Pinus jeffreyi''), Red fir (''Abies magnifica''), and Lodgepole pine (''Pinus contorta'').  
  
−
The LTBMU is responsible for the conservation, preservation and restoration of the Lake Tahoe watershed ecosystem on National Forest lands. Projects and programs also include habitat, fire management, and urban lot management. Additionally the LTBMU provides and maintains high quality recreational opportunities for millions of visitors and residents annually.
+
The Forest is divided into the Almanor (District 1), Hat Creek (District 3) and Eagle Lake (District 8) Ranger Districts, with the Forest Supervisor's Office in Susanville.  
  
−
Compared to other National Forest land the LTBMU is small, yet it is the Tahoe Basin's largest land manager, responsible for 78% of basin lands. As such the Forest Service has the largest single role in ecosystem and watershed management and protection. The LTBMU is a part of the National Forest System, yet is managed somewhat differently than other National Forests. Many common forest activities such as mining, grazing or timber harvesting are either not a part of LTBMU management or play a very small role. Since the lake is so dependent on all that happens around it, LTBMU programs manage the whole of the basin as a complete inter-dependent system.  The LTBMU is a unique inter-mix of forest and urban communities, presenting challenges and complexities few other National Forests experience. Since its establishment in 1973, the LTBMU has become a pioneer and leader in the science of forest and ecosystem management. The work of the Forest Service supports and is supported by many partners. Other federal, state and local agencies are working together in the effort to face challenges, conserve and restore natural and cultural resources, and enhance the recreational values of the Lake Tahoe Basin.
 
  
−
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. 
 
  
−
Old growth forest in the Lake Tahoe Basin is rare due to extensive logging that supplied the Comstock mines with bracing for shafts, fuel and building material.  About 5,400 acres are left, less than 3% of the land in the basin, consisting of Jeffrey pine (''Pinus jeffreyi''), White Fir (''Abies concolor''), Red Fir (''Abies magnifica''), Sugar pine (''P. lambertiana'') and California incense cedar (''Calocedrus decurrens'').

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."

Lassen National Forest (LNF - Forest #06) "Susanville" KMB 6-9-0

The forest was formed in 1905 when it was named one of the Forest Reserves, which were all renamed "National Forests" in 1907. It is named after pioneer Peter Lassen, who mined, ranched and promoted the area to emigrant parties in the 1850s. The size of the Lassen National Forest is 1.2 million acres. The Forest lies at the heart of one of the most fascinating areas of California, called the Crossroads. Here the granite of the Sierra Nevada, the lava of the Cascades and the Modoc Plateau, and the sagebrush of the Great Basin meet and blend. It is an area of great variety, greeting visitors and residents alike with a wide array of recreational opportunities and adventures. Fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, bicycling, boating, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and just exploring and learning about nature are among the many popular pastimes.

Within the Lassen National Forest you can explore a lava tube or the land of Ishi, the last survivor of the Yahi Yana Native American tribe; watch pronghorn antelope glide across sage flats or an osprey snatch fish from lake waters; drive four-wheel trails into high granite country appointed with sapphire lakes or discover spring wildflowers on foot.

The forest has 92,000 acres of old growth. The common tree species are Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii), Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), White Fir (Abies concolor), Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi), Red fir (Abies magnifica), and Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta).

The Forest is divided into the Almanor (District 1), Hat Creek (District 3) and Eagle Lake (District 8) Ranger Districts, with the Forest Supervisor's Office in Susanville.

RADIO SYSTEM

The Lassen National Forest has a Forest Net with 8 repeaters and an Admin Net with 4 repeaters. Channels allowing direct (simplex) communications on each net are provided. There are channels for the fire net of the BLM Northern California District and the local net for the Lassen-Modoc Unit of Cal Fire. The first 11 channels listed are common to all the radios of the Forest, regardless of function or location.

Other

The unit identifier system for non-fire personnel used on the Lassen National Forest is unknown. The Susanville Interagency Fire Center provides dispatching for the Lassen National Forest, the Northern California District of the BLM, the Lassen-Modoc-Plumas Unit of Cal Fire, and the fire function of Lassen National Park. Law enforcement service for Lassen National Park is provided by the dispatch center at Yosemite National Park. The unit identifier for this center is "Susanville."
