The Lake
Improving the health of the lake
The problem
External stressors like aquatic invasive species, algae, and wildfires are creating new challenges for Lake Tahoe’s famous blue waters. We are helping to improve the health of the Lake by restoring high-priority watersheds, preventing and controlling aquatic invasive species, and reducing sediment and pollutants from entering the Lake.
Transformational Project
Upper Truckee River Restoration
One of the most important restoration projects in Lake Tahoe’s history is underway in South Lake Tahoe. The California Tahoe Conservancy has removed the former Motel 6 building, restaurant, and parking lot from the Upper Truckee Marsh and is now planning the restoration of this sensitive wetland. Thanks to our generous donors, we’ve been involved at every step of the way—from acquisition of the property to demolition and now restoration.
