Volunteer for Tahoe Forest Stewardship Day 2010, Saturday, September 11th!
Please join the League to Save Lake Tahoe for the 13th Annual Tahoe Forest Stewardship Day at North Lake Tahoe Regional Park! The event, sponsored by the League to Save Lake Tahoe and NTPUD, will focus on the wildland urban interface between the park and the town of Tahoe Vista. It will combine field education in forest ecology, defensible space, BMP’s, soil conservation, wildlife biology, and natural history with hands-on forest restoration projects. Restoration projects will include hand-thinning of over-stocked forests, trail restoration, native plant re-vegetation, and erosion control practices.
Volunteers of all ages and abilities are welcome! In addition, we need qualified team leaders to work with teams of 10 – 15 volunteers. If you enjoy working with people and have field experience in a natural resource discipline, please consider being a team leader for this year’s Tahoe Forest Stewardship Day.
For more information on being a team leader or a volunteer, contact Flavia Sordelet at (530) 541-5388 or events@keeptahoeblue.org.

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency’s Governing Board approved a new fee structure for the Aquatic Invasive Species Watercraft Inspection Program in an attempt to make it more equitable and sustainable, according to Agency officials.
The TRPA Board voted to keep the same inspection fee for local “Tahoe Only” boats and to increase watercraft inspection fees for “Tahoe In & Out” vessels that come from other water bodies or have never been inspected. Another change is the addition of a new decontamination charge for those boats not clean, drained, and dry when they arrive at the Lake.
