Alpine
 Meadows offers one of the basin’s most abundant displays of medicinal 
plants and berries, such as elderberry and thimbleberry.
Join
 Dr. Elena Roemer, L.Ac and Brian Wallace, Certified California 
Naturalist, as we explore the edible and medicinal plants of the Lake 
Tahoe basin through both Western herbal actions and Chinese medicine 
energetics, while weaving in local ecology, plant folklore, and seasonal
 rhythms. We’ll focus on learning how to truly see and relate to 
plants—how to identify them, understand their properties, and approach 
harvesting with respect and restraint. The walk includes a guided plant 
sit and discussion of ethical wildcrafting, as well as gaining a clear 
understanding of when to harvest, while inviting a grounded, embodied 
relationship with the living landscape.
Alpine Meadows offers one 
of the basin’s most abundant displays of medicinal and edible plant 
life, with beloved species such as elder, arnica, and thimbleberry 
thriving among open meadows and mountain slopes.

The Terrapin Roadshow at Truckee - Sunday!

Float in a kayak on the clear blue water while the sun sets the sky on fire, the full moon rises, and the stars twinkle! The water will be calm and quiet as the wind dies down and other boats button up for the night.

Wild Rose Medicine

Wild Rose Medicine is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit clinic at 475 North Lake Blvd, Suite 205, in Tahoe City, California. Dedicated to accessible holistic health care, it serves the North Lake Tahoe community through a sliding-scale model that ensures consistent, high-quality treatment for all patients. Led by Dr. Elena Roemer, a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, the practice focuses on integrative wellness and community-based healing. The clinic specializes in acupuncture, herbal medicine, and integrative consultations, addressing needs including fertility support, pain management, stress, anxiety, and hormonal health. Dr. Roemer, NCCAOM certified and licensed by the California Board of Acupuncture, combines Eastern medicine with a trauma-informed approach to create personalized treatment plans. Patients can expect a welcoming, calm environment where their health history and individual needs are met with deep presence and intuition. Wild Rose Medicine was co-founded by Dr. Roemer's husband, Brian Wallace, a Sierra Nevada naturalist and field guide. Together they lead the clinic's educational programming: a growing series of guided plant walks and hands-on workshops that carry its mission beyond the treatment room and into the landscape. Participants learn to identify local wild edible and medicinal plants and explore their uses through foraging, herbalism, and the energetics of Chinese medicine, alongside the ethnobotany, folklore, and ecology of the Tahoe Sierra. These offerings invite neighbors and visitors alike to build a deeper relationship with the wild places of North Lake Tahoe.
