Dogs are currently banned from the Upper Truckee Marsh area due to protection of a critical breeding habitat for special, threatened and endangered species such as the Willow Flycatcher and Yellow Warbler.
The California Tahoe Conservancy announced today its annual seasonal dog closure which will be in place July 31.
Beginning August 1, dogs will again be permitted access to the Upper Truckee Marsh, if they are on leash. The Conservancy-owned Cove East property, west of the river, remains open for year-round, leashed dog access.
Conservancy staff will be monitoring the areas for compliance.
The Conservancy owns and manages the 600-acre marsh, one of the largest remaining in the Sierra Nevada, for the protection and enhancement of wildlife habitat and water quality.
