Nearly 25 years ago, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and dozens of partners embarked on an unprecedented mission to conserve and restore the Lake Tahoe Basin’s treasured natural resources through the Lake Tahoe Environmental Improvement Program.
RENO — The forest of the Sierra Nevada mountains is an important resource for the surrounding communities in Nevada and California. Thinning the forest by removing trees by hand or using heavy machinery is one of the few tools available to manage forests.

Following a year marked by COVID-19 and excessive use of outdoor areas by visitors and locals seeking escape from the pandemic, the League to Save Lake Tahoe issued its objectives for 2021.
Heading into the year the league has outlined a number of environmental issues facing the lake, identifying the need to advance restoration, combat pollution, and continue the ongoing battle against invasive species.
Advance restoration
The League to Save Lake Tahoe is part of the environmental conservation and restoration organization — the California Landscape Stewardship Network.
The organization brings together 29 groups from across California, representing federal, state, and local agencies, nonprofits, academic institutions, and private land managers in an effort to promote restoration projects on a landscape scale.
