Our Work

The League's core focus is to protect Lake Tahoe’s inspiring water clarity. We are a constant presence watching out for the lake and urging decision makers to do the right thing. Our watchdog efforts include researching development plans and projects for flaws and loopholes, to ensure these projects comply with rules to protect Lake Tahoe. We also work to secure funding for river and watershed restoration and conduct outreach about the environmental challenges facing Lake Tahoe. The League has three primary program areas: Advocacy & Monitoring, Legislative Advocacy and Outreach & Education. The following is a list of our top priorities. To view all projects, please peruse the menu to the left, and visit our Accomplishments page.
