July 15, 2015 - 5:30pm Aquatic invasive plants are threatening Lake Tahoe! The League to Save Lake Tahoe needs everyone's help to prevent the spread of these pesky invaders.
'Eyes on the Lake' is the League's volunteer program to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive plants in Tahoe’s waters. If you are a water lover in Tahoe (SCUBA diver, paddler, swimmer, beach goer, or boater) and want to help ensure Lake Tahoe’s waters stay clear and pristine, then 'Eyes on the Lake' is for you.
Volunteers will learn how to identify plants in the classroom and in the field. Help protect the Lake while you play.
"There's just too much water for us to survey to keep these weeds at bay," said League Deputy Director Jesse Patterson. "We need more 'eyes on the lake', so we’re inviting the public to help us locate infestations, small or large, while they enjoy a day on the lake."
