Carville has written and photographed for numerous publications, including the Sierra Heritage magazine, Sacramento Bee, and San Francisco Chronicle.

Set against a beautiful backdrop of towering ponderosa pines at the Inn Town Campground, the Fireside Chat summer series explores current conservation issues – trail access, land use, and wildlife biodiversity – in a unique outdoor round table storytelling and conversational format, with the goal to entertain, increase a deeper knowledge of the Sierra Nevada foothills and mountains, and foster collaboration.

Adventure, storytelling, outdoors, nature, community – this series has it all. Carville’s book Tahoe’s Spectacular Wildflower Trails will be available for purchase.

Fireside Chats are free and open to the public, but space is limited and pre-registration is required.  Attendees will need to park off site on New Mohawk Road and walk across the street to the campground.
