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.
