Talk to focus on sugar pines
Maria Mircheva, executive director of the Sugar Pine Foundation, will be talking about the work her groups does on Sept. 30 at 5:30pm.
There will be video showing how volunteers climbing trees to collect seeds. Plus, there is the chance to examine their giant slingshot.
The Sugar Pine Foundation is a local nonprofit dedicated to restoring sugar pines and western white pines by involving the community in forest stewardship. Since 2008, they have planted more than 70,000 seedlings with volunteer and school groups.
The talk at South Lake Tahoe Library (1000 Rufus Allen Blvd.) is free.
Perfect…..thicken our forests again, after millions of dollars spent on thinning….which Mother Nature does for free with lightening fires and watch us burn! Stupid humans.
The Sugar Pine was once all over the Tahoe Basin but was logged for the mines of Virginia City in the 1800s. they are great trees and I hope that this program is a works out. They are a beautiful Tree and there are many areas that they will be needed to restore the forest.
Gee kit, got nothing better to do? Whine and complain, complain and whine. Must be a slow news day on Fox Noise.
im glad that this group is concerned about the sugar pines. Keep up the good work.
