⚠️ A new aquatic invasive species is knocking on Tahoe’s door.

Golden mussels have been detected in numerous California waterways, and boats carrying golden mussels have been intercepted at inspection stations before launching in Lake Tahoe — as recently as this week!

If they get in, these tiny invaders could permanently impact Tahoe’s clarity, ecosystem, recreation, and infrastructure.

The best defense is prevention. Before entering Lake Tahoe, always Clean, Drain and Dry your boat, kayak, floaties, and any other gear. Every time.

Join our free Eyes on the Lake Training on Tuesday, June 9 from 10 am–12 pm at Valhalla Tahoe. You'll learn how to spot and report aquatic invasive species to keep the Lake better protected. Do your part and be entered for a chance to win gear!

Who doesn’t love a good trail? These coyote pups clearly do. We caught them this morning, playing beside the Dennis T. Machida Memorial Greenway on California Tahoe Conservancy land in South Lake Tahoe. They must know that June is Tahoe Bike Month, and were hoping to cheer on people biking for the morning commute. (Their mom, who was hunting nearby, discouraged bikers from lingering near the pups). Learn more about Tahoe Bike Month here: https://www.tahoebikemonth.org/

May is Wildfire Awareness Month and partners across the Lake Tahoe Basin are encouraging residents and visitors to take meaningful steps now to reduce wildfire risk before fire season begins.

Wildfire is a natural part of Lake Tahoe’s landscape, but the work communities do ahead of time helps protect lives, property, and the forests that protect Lake Tahoe’s incredible clarity. Ongoing forest health projects are reducing risk across the basin and individual actions from homeowners are fundamental to how we learn to live with fire.

Find out how you can help at the 12th annual Tahoe Wildfire Safety Expo Saturday, May 30 on South Shore, or find more Wildfire Awareness Month events at TahoeLivingWithFire.org.
