"After years of restoration work, Sardine Meadow has made a remarkable comeback. It's open and expansive," Heidi Krolick, Sierra Nevada director for the Trust for Public Land, told SFGATE in an interview Monday. "It's a really, really special and beautiful place to be."
"Sardine Meadow was a large private parcel in that checkerboard when the Trust for Public Land, a nonprofit that's protected 4 million acres nationwide, purchased it in 2014 for $850,000."
"California's mountains have a fragmented landscape of public and private land thanks to the legacy of the transcontinental railroad, when the government gave railroad companies every other square mile of land."
"Sardine Meadow was a missing link in landscape-wide protections in the Tahoe National Forest. The Truckee River Watershed Council and the Tahoe National Forest had identified it as a priority for watershed restoration."
