Overview

Basics

Basics
Tahoe Forest Stewardship Days is the League’s longest running community engagement event and Tahoe’s largest single-day ecosystem restoration volunteer effort, held twice annually. Hundreds of locals and visitors of all ages and skill levels join in the work together while enjoying Tahoe’s beautiful outdoors. There is one large event in fall to conduct the majority of necessary restoration work, followed by a smaller event at the same site in spring to address any maintenance needs. Additional ecosystem restoration events, at both past and new sites, are conducted throughout the year with small groups of volunteer “restoration strike teams” who have participated in past TFSD’s.
