September in Nevada City
Hello September. Excited to continue to share things that are happening, places to explore and fun happenings in Nevada City. We've all got a little bit of fall fever, so here are some suggestion...

Since the Gold Rush era, land reclamation projects have helped to build California, but they are also damaging the state’s environment for people, plants and animals by eliminating essential wetlands.
California has used reclamation districts to turn millions of acres of unusable swamps into fertile agricultural land, starting in the earliest days of the Gold Rush. Here’s how it happened.
Almost one million California residents are forced to drink from contaminated water supplies, or pay for bottled water. Economic inequality makes the crisis worse. What is the state doing to fix it?
2023’s torrential rainstorms have eased California's drought conditions. But there’s a lot more to drought than the amount of rain, and this drought isn't over yet.
Community service districts can do most anything a city government can do. Here’s how they work and how to start one.
What do resource conservation districts protect? Pretty much everything that’s worth saving.
Residential wells are drying up in the state’s main agricultural region at the same time that agricultural businesses consume almost 90 percent of the water there.
From Tahoe Guide...
Tahoe is full of amazing beaches, hiking and mountain biking trails and sights to enjoy. Whether you spend a day exploring Tahoe’s sights or a week (or more), you’ll never run out of things to do.
From YubaNet...
Microplastics, wildfire smoke, changes in temperature, vast swings in lake clarity from winter to summer, and an increase in rain-on-snow events caused by long-term changes in the climate highlight the annual State of the Lake Report, released on Aug. 8 from the Tahoe Environmental Research Center.
The League to Save Lake Tahoe recently released its findings from July 5 beach cleanups compiled over the last 11 years revealing that 60 percent of the trash collected is plastic, according to a press release.
From Tahoe Daily Tribune...
Divers are currently assessing the status of New Zealand mudsnail populations once again after almost one year from their initial discovery in Lake Tahoe.
Tahoe's clarity report card just came out, yet two sewage spills occurring within less than two weeks of each other have minds on murkier matters.
From The Union...
UC Davis TERC will host the annual State of the Lake Report presentation at Granlibakken Tahoe on Aug. 8 at 6 p.m. with TERC interim director Alex Forrest. The event will also be offered virtually and will feature a panel of water experts to discuss lake clarity and health.
From Sierra Sun...
Placer County has issued a health advisory in the Carnelian Bay area of Lake Tahoe following a sewage spill that reached the lake yesterday evening.
The agencies that sampled water at El Dorado Beach and Nevada Beach last week have detected no toxins associated with harmful algal blooms in the lake. These are sites viral social media posts purported could be where a dog ingested harmful cyanobacteria and later died.
From CalMatters...
Senator Catherine Cortez Masto's (D-Nev.) legislation to extend the authorization of the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act for 10 years passed the Senate on July 10.
For those who love plants, bugs and other animals and have a sense of exploration and a thirst for discovery, participating in a bioblitz is the perfect opportunity.
Social media posts mourning the death of an owner's beloved dog has had many re-posting the incident with warnings about cyanobacteria in the water at certain beaches in Lake Tahoe.
