What we have in place
- We currently have a GoogleSites website - www.sugarpinefoundation.org - though we are not using Google Analytics. We do have a staff member dedicated to this project to help you with any questions you may have.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,762 , allowing us to plant more trees! Every penny we earn or save goes towards putting more sugar pines back in the ground to restore Lake Tahoe's beautiful mixed conifer forests.
Our organization is a leader and innovator in restoring Tahoe's sugar pines and other white pines, but our website does not "show" it. We are well-known and loved in the Tahoe region, but we are looking to expand the geographic scope of our work as well as our donor base. We need a high profile and user-friendly website to demonstrate the high caliber of our work to new partners and donors as we expand.

Our mission
The Sugar Pine Foundation is dedicated to saving Lake Tahoe's sugar pines and other white pines from blister rust by educating and involving Tahoe area students and community members of all ages in hands-on forest stewardship. Since 2008, we plant 10,000 trees per year with local volunteers and crews!
Testimonials
We worked with Tim Briggs of Arctos Productions to build our new website. We were very fortunate to find Tim through Catchafire, a service that pairs skilled volunteers with non-profits in need of technical or design support. Patagonia generously sponsors our Catchafire membership. Tim was the first volunteer to eagerly reply to our request for help with web design. As a talented and ambitious young photographer and web designer, we knew he was the right guy for the job right away. He spent many hours on the phone and in Skype conferences with us to craft the new site - in addition to untold hours finding and making the right Word Press plug-ins ad features work for us. On top of all that, Tim traveled from Boston, MA to Tahoe to present the new website to our Board of Directors in September! He also photographed our Board and Staff, our cone collections and burns scars that we have replanted. Tim was easy to please, he loved mountain biking in Tahoe and photographing the beautiful landscape. We decided that Tim's services are definitely worth paying for and we are glad to now have Tim on board as our Web Guru. We look forward to working with him and hosting him again in Tahoe any time!
