On June 23 from 10am-noon the Sugar Pine Foundation will co-host a Tahoe yellow cress planting with the Tahoe yellow cress adaptive management working group at Baldwin Beach on the South Shore.

Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit will host a TYC information booth at the Native Species Festival that day from 9am-3pm at the Taylor Creek Visitor Center. 

Tahoe yellow cress (Rorippa subumbellata) is a rare plant that grows on the shoreline of Lake Tahoe in California and Nevada. TYC exists nowhere else in the world and is on the endangered lists in both states. 

A lake-wide survey conducted in 2017, reported a decline in TYC with only 43 percent of surveyed sites occupied, compared to 80 percent in 2016, when the lake was several feet lower. In 2018, the lake level is expected to remain high throughout the summer.
