Climate Resilience

We make the Tahoe Basin a global model for climate change adaptability.

Tahoe’s history of unchecked urban development, combined with the modern pressures of climate change, threaten the Lake we love.

Building resilience is the key to preserving what we all love about Lake Tahoe.
Much of this work focuses on restoring ecosystems harmed over decades of use and development while safeguarding wetlands, streams, marshes and meadows that act as the Lake’s most effective buffer against a changing climate.
To make Tahoe resilient, we advance ecosystem restoration through boots-on-the-ground work and advocacy for large projects.
For the past 25 years, the League has collaborated with land managers, community organizations and thousands of volunteers to heal Tahoe’s environment through hands-on work. Our staff of policy professionals works in Sacramento, Carson City and Washington DC to secure funding and support for large-scale ecosystem restoration projects in the Basin.
