SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Volunteers with the River City Waterway Alliance will be in South Lake Tahoe on Saturday to join with local volunteers to remove debris from the Johnson Meadow.

Everyone interested in helping clean out a large amount of trash from the meadow which is behind the Grocery Outlet should show up on August 3 at 10:30 a.m. (no later) at the intersection of Ponderosa Street and Sunset Drive in South Lake Tahoe. There will be an orientation and volunteers will sign waivers before proceeding over the bike bridge and under US50 into Johnson Meadow. If time permits, volunteers may then move on to other meadow locations to remove debris.

Join them at or before 10:30 a.m. and help for as long as you would like.

In January 2023, four individuals, Mark Baker, Kathleen Farren Ford, David Ingram, and Lisa Sanchez, started the grassroots organization known as River City Waterway Alliance (RCWA). Their goal: to clean, restore, and protect the imperiled waterways of the Sacramento region. With a growing team of volunteers, affectionately referred to as “badgers,” over 1 million lbs of debris was removed from our waterways in their first 11 months as a group. Now they are headed to South Lake Tahoe to continue their goal.
