Tree Mortality Task Force Hosts Roundtable in Lake Tahoe

On Tuesday, the Tree Mortality Task Force (Task Force) hosted a roundtable discussion in Lake Tahoe, California to discuss federal, state, regional, and local efforts in response to tree mortality in the Sierra Nevada.  Members of the Task Force, including RCRC, gathered with California Natural Resources Secretary John Laird, representatives from Senator Dianne Feinstein’s office and Congressman Tom McClintock’s office, as well as the office of Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency to discuss strategies and action items to address the growing mortality problem in and around the Lake Tahoe region.  The roundtable was held in advance of the 20th Anniversary Lake Tahoe Summit, which took place the next day and featured President Barack Obama as the keynote speaker.
