Caption on image: Logging near the upper reaches of Ward Creek. USFS District Ranger Dave Mohla, back to camera, explains soil erosion control measures. This photo shows a cross drain to prevent water from running down a skid trail where a log has been dragged to a roadside landing. Cross drains are installed every 50 feet and the disturbance areas will be seeded with grass. This image is part of the Lake Tahoe Area Council photograph collection. The Council was a private, non-political and non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and orderly development of the Lake Tahoe Basin. It sought cooperation between private land owners and governmental agencies to solve basin-wide problems of planning, land use, park and recreation development, pollution control and soil conservation.
