The view from Chickadee Ridge in Lake Tahoe.Julie Brown / SFGATE
This was supposed to be a light, easy story about a popular magical, even hike in Lake Tahoe.
But then I went on the hike. And when I came back to write the story, I couldn’t let go of some big, ethical questions that were staring me in the eyes. Quite literally. A bird was staring me in the eyes.
Chickadee Ridge is one of Tahoe’s most popular winter hikes, for good reason. It’s easily accessible, pretty short, mostly flat, and rewards with absolutely beautiful views. Upon arrival, you’ll immediately understand how the ridge got its name. The mountain chickadees are impossible to miss. There are so many of them. Little gray, black and white birds in every tree. I mean, it really is magical.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. Despite challenges presented by the pandemic, the philanthropic leadership organization Tahoe Women’s Community Fund had a successful year supporting local nonprofits.
TWCF also virtually recruited the most memberships to date for its sixth year running, even without in-person events, marking a total of 226 members for 2021.
TWCF also raised $100,000 with a generous donation from the “Angel of Tahoe” Lisa Maloff to distribute to South Shore nonprofits this year.
On Monday, Feb. 15, grant applications will open to nonprofits that serve the South Shore. The process closes at 5 p.m. sharp on Thursday, March 11.
Even though 2020 created uncertainty for many organizations, it did not negatively affect TWCF.
