Homewood Receives Award from Meek's Bay and North Tahoe Fire Protection District

Homewood Mountain Resort was honored to received recognition and thanks from the North Tahoe Fire Protection District and the Meek’s Bay Fire Protection District for continued support and proactive involvement of defensible space programs.  Homewood has provided the communities in and around the Lake Tahoe area with space to dispose of biomass material for several years.  Community members are able to deliver wood chips, pine needles, and other organic material to the mountain where they are incorporated into ongoing programs to grow defensible space; promote growth of native plants; retain ground water; and mitigate soil runoff.   

“We appreciate the numerous years of Homewood’s partnership with both districts,” said John Pang, the Meek’s Bay Fire Department Chief.  “This is a great program for everybody,” he added. 
 
John Pang and Stewart McMorrow of the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District were at Homewood Wednesday, June 10 to present Kent Hoopingarner with a plaque which reads:
 
                                                     To Homewood Ski Resort
                In recognition of your continued efforts in support of defensible space programs
                                                     in the Lake Tahoe area
                                                   With grateful appreciation,
             The North Tahoe Fire Protection District and the Meeks Bay Fire Protection District

“This recognition is truly an honor for Homewood,” said Kent Hoopingarner.  “But this great program is only successful with the teamwork of everyone – the Meek’s Bay and the North Tahoe Fire Protection Districts; Integrated Environmental Restoration Services; and every community member who has utilized the biomass drop-off service at Homewood.  This award is a sign of successful community teamwork and we intend to keep it going,” he added.
