The League to Save Lake Tahoe is dedicated to protecting the environmental quality, scenic beauty, and low-impact recreational opportunities of the Lake Tahoe Basin. We have three primary program areas – Advocacy and Monitoring, Legislative Advocacy, and Education and Outreach – and we are currently working on a number of campaigns and projects.

CURRENT PRIORITIES
Decision Time for Shorezone!
In August, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) will vote on a new shorezone plan for Lake Tahoe.
The most recent TRPA proposal would profoundly impact the beauty, serenity, and water quality of Lake Tahoe by permiting thousands of new buoys, hundreds of new piers and slips, and many new boat ramps. Engine emissions and noise will be greatly increased without adequate protections for the Lake and those who use it.
