Lake Tahoe may not carry a national park designation, but thanks to decades of dedicated partnership, in many important ways it’s protected like one. Ninety percent of the land in the Tahoe Basin is public. Within this natural landscape, we also have vibrant communities of residents and visitors enjoying and stewarding this land.
At the same time, rising costs are pushing our workforce out of the basin, something partners are seeing firsthand. The people who teach our children, serve at our restaurants, and staff our hospitals increasingly can’t afford to live here, which means they are forced to commute from further away. This adds real pressure on Tahoe’s environment and communities.
Read on to see how Tahoe partners are working together to explore solutions, and how you can get involved.
