The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) leads the cooperative effort to preserve, restore, and enhance the unique natural and human environment of the Lake Tahoe Region. They do so with special emphasis on improving local communities and people’s interactions with our irreplaceable environment.
Thanks to the workflows and systems Sitka created for us, my team has more time to do higher-order analyses and syntheses. Plus, we just enjoy using the tools from Sitka!

The Summit is designed for city planners, citizen planners, community activists, design professionals, conservationists, academics, elected officials, and all those who are committed to addressing the unique opportunities faced by mountain communities. Experts in land use and transportation, housing, economic development, sustainability, resilience, and leadership in are expected to attend this year's conference in Lake Tahoe. The program format includes panel discussions, facilitated roundtable discussions, and keynote talks from industry and academic experts.
On April 23rd, Matt and I drove up to Olympia to help the Puget Sound Partnership (PSP) conduct a partner training for the two key areas of their new Puget Sound Info platform. PSP works with over 750 partners – including government agencies, tribes, scientists, businesses, and non-profits – that contribute to the Puget Sound recovery effort. This training was an opportunity to share the new application with users and give partners the tools they need to update their data in the system prior to the public launch later this summer.
The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) selected Sitka to develop a new mooring permitting and registration system that allows lakefront property owners, homeowners’ associations, and marinas to register and permit their existing buoys, boatlifts, and boat slips. By tracking and managing moorings, TRPA can make sure that regulations are being followed to preserve the natural beauty for which Lake Tahoe is so famous. Permitting and registration fees go to enforcement and shoreline restoration projects.
This past July, we hosted our second Conservation Manager Roundtable in our Portland office. Our table was rounded by 18 representatives from 10 different natural areas organizations from across the west (California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington). While we had a few returnees in attendance, the majority of the participants were new faces for the event but certainly not new to conservation.
