On May 14 the League to Save Lake Tahoe will organize the year’s largest single-day, hands-on citizens science effort to capture a snapshot of the water quality health of South Shore streams feeding into Lake Tahoe.

The League will host Snapshot Day on the South Shore with support from Lahontan Water Quality Control Board, South Tahoe Public Utility District, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and the Tahoe Resource Conservation District.

South Shore monitoring will complement efforts happening simultaneously throughout the Truckee River Watershed from its tributaries upstream of Lake Tahoe to its end at Pyramid Lake in Nevada.

All ages and experiences are welcome. No pets allowed. At the South Shore location, organizers will provide a light breakfast and lunch to all volunteers.

Gather at 9am at Lake Tahoe Community College. League staff and trained team leader volunteers will provide an overview for the day’s activities. No prior experience is needed. Participants will then work in teams to head out into the field to test the water quality of their assigned streams and rivers all across the South Shore.

To  volunteer, contact Savannah Rudroff at 530.541.5388 or protect@keeptahoeblue.org.
