You have to be rugged to golf in Tahoe. It snowed a lot more than expected yesterday! The course opened early because of the warm March but it’s nice to get another crack at it in skis. #tahoesouth

This will be a great primer for anyone getting involved in implementing post-fire reforestation in California. Don't miss out!

This is bad, folks. We won't have the data we need to help prevent future fire without a strong forest research program and the @forestservice.bsky.social is key to that. www.ktvu.com/news/us-fore...

It’s the final countdown…if you have ever wondered what happens to forests after a wildfire, California Tree School is where you'll learn about reforestation, cone collecting, and reconnecting with nature after fire. Register for this one-day mini college held April 18! ucanr.edu/.../forest.....

I think this is a good sign for the future of the American chestnut tree. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“It’s gonna be a while, but this process of finding the rust resistant seedlings is very promising,” www.opb.org/article/2026...

A cautionary tale about carbon credits: “We’re learning that we can’t just leave it alone...When wildfire happens, it’s going to burn.” Rather than focus on short-term revenue, Smith said the Tribes are taking a long view, rooted in intergenerational stewardship. bendbulletin.com/2026/03/09/w...

Here’s what’s left of the six feet of snow we got two weeks ago in #tahoesouth. It melted so fast.

"Most people don't realize a lot of work goes into responding to a fire, but a whole heck of a lot more goes into the recovery — the after — what happens afterwards," said Dore A. Bietz, assistant director of the Tuolumne County Office of Emergency Services. www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/n...

“This is a huge moment for our Northern California flock,” lostcoastoutpost.com/2026/mar/2/m...

“Modern wildfires have many tragic effects—particularly the loss of lives, homes and... forest, @natureatcal.bsky.social @ucanr.edu. However, we have a valuable opportunity to capitalize on some of the good work that wildfires do, but we must act fast. ucanr.edu/blog/green-b...

We are very happy to announce our two California Tree School sessions for 2026, in Paradise and in Eureka. Lots of cool classes on offer. Please spread the word.

Thinking of all my back country skiing friends right now. After Avalanche Warnings, a Sierra Nevada Tragedy www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/n...

Thinking of venturing out. Got my jeep cleaned off and I think I can make it to the highway. Not sure the highway can take me anywhere though.

Exciting to see that this facility is up and running www.fs.usda.gov/about-agency...

Before the storm. Everyone was out walking in the park today ahead of the five feet of snow forecast by Wednesday.

Impressive. www.latimes.com/environment/...

The snow has been holding pretty well despite the warm days because of the super cold nights. But it’s getting a little sparse.

Another great video from the @FoundationCCC 's Resilient Careers in Forestry project - this time on becoming a utility line clearance arborist. Check it out at vimeo.com/1155132209/7...

The El Dor!do Amador Prescribed Burn Association helped with a 4 acre burn in Volcano on Saturday. We spent a lot of time raking around trees to pull back a deep layer of duff (it helped the moist duff burn & protected the trees). It was my first burn with cows in attendance! They weren't bothered.

Should be great info for everyone working on recovering from wildfire. ucanr.edu/blog/green-b...

Winter along the Upper Truckee River. With my pup.

Cold but gorgeous day for a ski in the park.

“This may not be a fire...but it is of a sort, the same kind of trauma being experienced by people — the unknown, the fear.” www.ijpr.org/business-and...

Mt Tallac. And the dying of the light.

Don't miss it!

Trees in treated areas were three times more likely to survive fire than trees in untreated sites. Hand thinning and piling the leftover fuels was also effective. However, unburned fuel piles led to higher fire severity and tree mortality than untreated sites. www.ucdavis.edu/climate/news...
