Tahoe Fund seeks environmental project ideas

The Tahoe Fund is looking for environmental organizations to partner with to help solve environmental challenges at Lake Tahoe.

Organizations have until Jan. 29 to submit project ideas online.

The Tahoe Fund is seeking projects for its 2017 Signature and Premier Project Portfolios. These are late-stage projects that will improve Lake Tahoe’s environment by enhancing the water quality of the lake, restoring watersheds, providing healthier forests, improving transportation and fostering outdoor recreation.  The organization also seeks projects to build a greater sense of stewardship in the Tahoe basin.

The organization is raising funds for two 2016 Signature Projects: the new Taylor Creek overlook that will improve the visitor experience for the people and bears at the basin’s most popular visitor center; and the Rubicon/Lighthouse Trail Restoration at Bliss State Park.
