Western White Pines Hike with SPF
July 24 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
Join the Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) and the Sugar Pine Foundation (SPF) on a 3 mile roundtrip hike to meet the western white pine—a towering emblem of the American West, distinguished by its soft needles and stately presence. This remarkable tree is more than just a forest giant; it’s a resilient survivor, facing threats from logging, urban development, and the challenges of a changing climate. An introduced fungus has devastated many western white pines west of the Cascades, making Tahoe a vital stronghold for this majestic species. A SPF tree specialist will share the Sugar Pine Foundation’s efforts to protect and restore the western white pine.
Location: Kingsbury South / Stagecoach Trailhead
Cost: $10,00
