08 - The Lake Tahoe Tree Poisoning Mystery, with Alex Wigglesworth

In this episode, Sarah is joined by journalist Alex Wigglesworth to unpick the bizarre, unsolved case of tree poisonings in Incline Village, Lake Tahoe.
Since 2022, 28 trees have been deliberately poisoned, diesel fuel poured around the base and copper sulphate drilled into the roots, in what many suspect is an attempt to clear lake views and boost property values.
With around $300,000 of damage, a $147,000 reward on offer and still no suspects identified, this is a genuine real life whodunnit.
Sarah and Alex compare the case to UK tree law and the Sycamore Gap prosecution, and explore why trees matter for far more than the view they might be blocking.
