The Sierra Nevada Alliance will be holding its 15th Annual Conference and Anniversary Celebration September 12-14 at the North Tahoe Conference Center in Kings Beach at Lake Tahoe . This year’s conference theme is Leading in a Climate of Change: Hot Topics, Cold Facts and New Answers for the Sierra.
Despite its iconic recognition, the Sierra Nevada has often been seen by those within and without the region as California ’s poor stepchild. Rural with a limited population but a wealth of natural resources, the region has been exploited and frequently left out of key statewide decisions. But after fifteen years of a united regional conservation movement, the stepchild days are over.
Come and join others to celebrate our past 15 years and strategize together how to save the Sierra, be a leading region in adapting to climate change, achieve sustainable communities and contribute to saving the world.
The conference features inspirational speakers—including Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Tom Knudson, author and photographer Tim Palmer, and biologist and Sierra field guide author John Muir Laws--eight cutting edge conservation workshops, top notch networking and more. Also on Friday is the Sierra Nevada Yard and Garden Summit, where Sierra homeowners, organizations, and agencies will learn tips and techniques for creating a conservation-minded landscape that defends against wildfire, is in harmony with Sierra wildlife, reduces pollution, deters invasive weeds, and conserves water.
