Mast Year = Massive seed collection success for the Sugar Pine Foundation
Submitted by paula on Thu, 10/03/2024 - 5:30am
For the Sugar Pine Foundation (SPF) this September was incredibly busy with seed collection because 2024 proved to be a mast year for sugar pines and most conifers in the Tahoe region. This is significant because reforestation starts with collecting seeds.
A “mast year” is when an entire population of a certain tree or shrub produces a large amount of fruit, seeds, or nuts, which are collectively referred to as mast. (The term "mast" comes from the Old English word mæst, which refers to the nuts of forest trees that accumulate on the ground.)

Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 09/29/2024 - 10:59am
Dear Editor: I write to encourage my fellow Tahoe Township residents to be engaged and vote in all local elections in November. The contested races where one can have the greatest impact are those with the smallest number of eligible voters. One race I think is of particular importance is Justice of the Peace for Tahoe Township. I hope everyone will take the time to research the two candidates and vote for the one they feel is most qualified to complete the tasks at hand.
I will be casting my ballot to retain Judge Michael K. Johnson (no relation).
