Become part of bringing the 2nd edition of Plants of the Tahoe Region to your bookshelves and backpacks by the end of 2027! There are significant costs involved in editing, design, printing, and producing thousands of copies. The community helped build the contents of the book; now let's bring the book to the world together.

Funds raised will go toward the costs of producing the book, including:

• Publisher and printing costs

• Final editing and botanical content development

• Photography and image preparation

• Design and production expenses (e.g. index development)

• Other costs associated with completing and publishing the guide

My goal is to complete the project and fund a print run of 3,000 copies.

This is not presale for the book. Your donation will be considered a gift.

On a personal note, I firmly believe: You Can’t Conserve What You Don’t Know Exists. The best way to teach and reteach the incredibly diversity of trees and plants that exist in Tahoe is with a localized, up-to-date, reliable field guide. And it is my mission to bring it to you.

Thank you for helping make this next chapter of the Tahoe Plant Book possible. Every contribution matters.
