Tahoe Project Madness – Final Four!

April 2, 2026 by Jaclyn Tain

We’re down to the FINAL FOUR of Tahoe Project Madness! Thanks to your votes, we’ve narrowed the field to four outstanding projects and we’re officially in the home stretch.

Will you support TAMBA’s trail crews as they clear and improve your favorite trails, or help the Sugar Pine Foundation plant native pine trees in the Caldor Fire burn area? Will you bring another watchful eye to detect wildfires early with Tahoe Prosperity Center’s wildfire alert camera, or help prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species like the Golden Mussel with TRPA’s aquatic invasive species prevention stations?

The competition is tighter than ever, and every vote truly counts. The winners of this round will advance to the Championship Round, where the final two projects will go head-to-head for the extra $10,000.

Learn more about each project and cast your vote below!

Caldor Fire Reforestation
Help The Sugar Pine Foundation reforest 100 acres within the Caldor Fire burn scar by planting 10,000 native pine trees along heavily used mountain biking and hiking corridors near South Lake Tahoe.
Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention
To help keep aquatic invasive species at bay, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency is installing three new “Clean, Drain, and Dry” roadside units to make it easier for people to clean their paddle boards, kayaks, floaties and more. Help prevent the spread of invasive species like the Golden Mussel by supporting more units.
TAMBA Trail Crew
Give the Tahoe Area Mountain Biking Association’s trail crew the boost they need to get your favorite trails ready to ride this season. This crew will be clearing downed trees, improving drainage, restoring trail tread, and enhancing sight lines to ensure safe, accessible trails throughout the Tahoe Basin.
Wildfire Alert Camera
Early detection stops small fires before they become catastrophic. More than 100 Tahoe fires have been contained under one acre thanks to the ALERTWildfire camera network! Help cover blind spots in the network with another camera.
