Uniquely Tahoe
One of a Kind
Tahoe yellow cress (TYC) is a small native plant that grows on the shoreline of Lake Tahoe and no where else in the world. It lives only on the sandy beaches and dunes at the ever-changing margin of the lake.
Preserving this rare plant is easy and it starts with you!
What can you do?
- Avoid vegetated areas, especially near creek mouths
- Maintain control of your pets
- Launch and beach boats away from TYC
- Do not enter fenced areas
- Spread the word
