Save the Sugar Pines!
Sugar pines are the world's largest species of
pine.  They are noted for their uniquely
beautiful shape and enormous cones.

Sugar pines historically accounted for 25% of
Tahoe's mixed-conifer forests.  Today, this
"at-risk" species makes up less than 5% of the
forest composition.

Founded in 2004, the Sugar Pine Foundation is
a South Lake Tahoe-based 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization working to save Tahoe's sugar
pines and other white pines from an incurable,
exotic fungus called white pine blister rust by
educating and involving the local community
in hands-on forest stewardship.
