As recently as 1996, this unique member of the mustard family teetered on the brink of extinction when it disappeared from beaches in Nevada and was found growing in less than 10 sites on the California side of the lake. If you see fences along the beach please stay away and let Tahoe yellow cress thrive. By protecting TYC now we can prevent it from becoming federally endangered and save Lake Tahoe from more restrictions.

• Avoid vegetated areas, especially near creek mouths
  
  
• Maintain control of your pets


• Launch and beach boats away from TYC


• Do not enter fenced areas
