We invite you to lend a hand and help the Alliance, Sierra Club Tahoe Area Groupand Sierra State Parks Foundation Tuesday, August 2 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. for a litter cleanup event at Washoe Meadows State Park in southern Lake Tahoe.
Washoe Meadows is part of the Upper Truckee watershed which drains into Lake Tahoe. Garbage in the park pollutes our streams, rivers, aquifers and then drains into the lake.
You can help clean up the park and protect Big Blue!
