Tour of Potential Upper Truckee River Restoration Site and Lake Tahoe Golf Course
South Lake Tahoe, CA. – The League to Save Lake Tahoe will be joining California State Parks on public walking tours of The Upper Truckee River in Washoe Meadows State Park and Lake Valley State Recreation area on June 29th and June 30th, 2008. This is the site of a proposed restoration project on the Upper Truckee River with potential changes to the Lake Tahoe Golf Course. The river and surrounding meadows within the parks have been badly damaged by grazing, logging, development, and the straightening of the Upper Truckee River.
The purpose of each tour is to educate and inform the public about the ecology of the Upper Truckee River, how it plays a role in the health of Lake Tahoe, and the different alternatives that exist for the future of the project. The tours are not public hearings and are designed as informational sessions only.
Although they are being offered on two different dates, each tour of the Lake Tahoe Golf Course will be the same. The tours will be guided by a representative of California State Parks.
For more information, please contact Raina G. Patrocinio, Program & Media Advocate of the League to Save Lake Tahoe, at 530-541-5388 or raina@keeptahoeblue.org. Information on the project alternatives can be found at www.restoreuppertruckee.net.
