Jeanette Riva, thank you for reaching out to the community and getting our convertible cars for our royalty and for our admin to ride in for our parade. Without these two women, we would be overwhelmed and South Tahoe High School (STHS) would be unable to have such a successful parade. Thank you both so much.

Seed collecting
By Tressa Gibbard, Sugar Pine Foundation
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.)

Keep Tahoe Blue
STATELINE, Nev. – Meadows, marshes, and wetlands are Lake Tahoe’s natural filtration system – so long as they’re healthy. They slow down flowing water, causing clarity-degrading particles to settle out before they reach the Lake, which keeps Tahoe’s waters clear and pure. Since 1997, annual Tahoe Forest Stewardship Days events hosted by the League to Save Lake Tahoe (League) have invited the community to take part in restoring this natural filtration system.
