With the desire to bring environmental news to the masses, in 2012 the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency launched the publication Tahoe In Depth.
Most years it comes out in the winter and summer. A wealth of information is provided about what is going on in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Some stories are written by employees from agencies like the U.S. Forest Service, some by independent freelancers.
The winter 2019 edition has an article on Page 7 and Page 8 that I authored about the tortoiseshell butterfly boom in the Sierra last summer.
