Volunteers wanted for 15th Annual Lake Tahoe Forest Stewardship Day

Join hundreds of Lake Tahoe Basin community members as we help improve forest health at the League to Save Lake Tahoe's 15th annual Tahoe Forest Stewardship Day on Saturday, Sept. 29 at Tahoe Paradise Park in Meyers. The League welcomes volunteers of all ages and abilities.

This year our Stewardship Day partner is the Tahoe Paradise Resort Improvement District. We will focus on forest fuels reduction, trail restoration, river restoration, native species plantings, and educational outreach. The event will also include a volunteer appreciation lunch, sponsored by Nature's Bakery, with a special guest speaker from the Sugar Pine Foundation.

For over a decade, Stewardship Day has provided hundreds of Lake Tahoe volunteers the opportunity to restore public lands and discover how forest restoration can complement fire risk reduction. Volunteers band together under the leadership of the League on one day with a unified goal: to reverse the degradation of Lake Tahoe.

Previous Stewardship Day events have helped restore the Angora Fire Area, the Heavenly Gondola area, Meek's Creek Meadow, North Tahoe Regional Park, Skylandia Park, and Sugar Pine Point State Park.

All volunteers should wear sturdy shoes and long pants, and bring a water bottle and snack. Tools are provided, but volunteers who already have work gloves, hardhats, rakes, hand-saws, loppers, and shovels are encouraged to bring them (no axes or chain-saws, please).

For more information or to sign-up call (530) 541-5388 or email events@keeptahoeblue.org. Registration is required.
