SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — Volunteers proudly gathered this week on Lake Tahoe’s South Shore to pick up litter, repair heavily used trails and also decommission ones that shouldn’t exist.

The League to Save Lake Tahoe partnered with the U.S. Forest Service and Tahoe Heritage Foundation to host its 24th year of the Tahoe Forest Stewardship Days.

Even though COVID limited the number of who could attend, about 40 volunteers happily gathered Wednesday, June 16, at Tallac Historic Site.
