The community of Truckee has been discussing the application to Nevada County for a use permit for the Alpenglow small diameter timber mill and wood products facility. Sierra Business Council (SBC) supports the Alpenglow Timber facility, and encourages members of the community to weigh in with their support. The selected site was previously zoned for this activity. The project will create local jobs and create employee housing. It is being proposed by a long- term resident with a 30-year history of sustainable forestry practices. SBC has worked on climate resilience, forest management and wildfire mitigation issues for 30 years with a focus on advancing the ecological restoration of our forests. To achieve restoration we must increase the pace and scale of forest treatment. To reach our restoration goals we need facilities to treat wood waste and find economically beneficial uses in order to control and reduce the cost of treatment.
