Northern Site
The Northern Site is the Last Chance site in the Tahoe National Forest. The Tahoe NF, located in the north-central Nevada, supports diverse forest communities and a range of wildlife including the California Spotted Owl. Our site contains Sierra Nevada mixed conifer forest with considerable residual old growth trees.

The southern site is the Sugar Pine site, located in in the Sierra National Forest on the western slope of the central Sierra Nevada, almost completely in Madera County. The forests here are also mixed conifer. The southern site provides habitat for the Pacific Fisher.
