"Katherine Levy remembers a childhood deeply rooted in the natural offerings of Lake Tahoe – water skiing in the summer and working as ski instructor on the surrounding snow-covered mountains during winter months.
After leaving the area for many years, Levy recently moved back to live out her retirement along the lake’s north shore. But she doesn’t like what she has found upon her return: A US government plan to spray multiple types of herbicides – including the cancer-linked glyphosate weed killer – within national forest property that abuts the community’s cherished lake.
“I was horrified to find out what has been going on,” Levy said.
Levy is among a number of Lake Tahoe-area residents and officials who are fighting to block or alter the US Forest Service project, which is aimed at restoration of areas damaged by the 2021 Caldor Fire."
