Locals work to remove graffiti from Tahoe rocks

A group of locals has been working on removing graffiti from a heavily tagged beach on the East Shore. Now they are enlisting the help of others.

On Oct. 12, people are invited to help clean up graffiti at Bonsai Beach, which is one mile south of Sand Harbor in Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park. Meet at 9:30am at Sand Harbor (volunteers park for free), then there will be a shuttle to Bonsai Beach. Cleaning supplies and a light breakfast will be provided. Wear beach gear, bring sunscreen, lunch and water.

Boreal Mountain, which is owned by Powdr Corp, provided the group with a grant to help with expenses. The grant will also provide resources to remove graffiti from other state park beaches in Lake Tahoe State Park and DL Bliss.

Here is a video from People of Tahoe’s first clean up day. The group has also set up a Facebook page.

    Kudos to these folks! I’ll help spread the news about Oct. 12.

    Too bad we have a dirt bag element infesting our home and tagging rocks. A lot like dogs peeing.
    Great job on the clean up project. I’ll pass the word as well.

    Yes, big kudos to the folks from Boreal and the volunteers helping to keep Tahoe pristine. You can access a large labor pool from the Nevada Department of Corrections…perhaps some of the perps that painted it in the first place could help remove what they defaced.
    I will get the word out as well for Oct. 12.

    Extremely positive and productive actions here. I like the effect of a group of people going and getting it done.
