If you're concerned about the "restoration" logging in Tahoe, please ask the LTBMU to respond to our recent letter (below) and request a thorough, independent compliance audit. The Forest Service should not ask the public to assume that dozens of treatment units, contracts, categorical exclusions, utility programs, and restoration projects will collectively produce a healthier and safer forest. The Forest Service should demonstrate it. That requires independent compliance verification, transparent accounting of what is being removed and where commercially valuable timber goes, professional accountability for who selects the trees, and Basin-wide analysis demonstrating that measurable wildfire-safety benefits justify the ecological costs.

Join us for an evening with Steve Dolan, founder and director of Friends of Third Creek, a non-profit monitoring North Shore watersheds.
Steve’s talk will discuss Third Creek and Incline Creek, referred to as “The most genetically diverse and important streams feeding Lake Tahoe” by UNR Geneticist Dr. Galland.  Steve’s discussion provides an overview of the Third Creek watershed and weaves together Indigenous and environmental history, geology, ecology,  rehabilitation efforts and Third Creek’s role as a significant spawning ground for Lake Tahoe’s fish species. 

This is a free, hybrid event and open to the public - join in person at the Incline Village Library or via Zoom. Follow the link in our bio to register!

📢 YOU’RE INVITED!

From ocean gyres to mountain trails, 5 Gyres is gearing up for our first land-based expedition this summer! 🥾

After sailing the globe to study ocean plastics, we’re heading to the 165-mile Tahoe Rim Trail with Tahoe Rim Trail Association to investigate how microplastics show up in our air, soil, water, and shorelines. 🌎

This research will help create a comprehensive baseline of plastic pollution in recreational areas and drive real solutions to protect human and environmental health.
