So much fun whitewater rafting with @friendsoftheriver  and @etcrivercamp for our SNAP graduation week and member meeting celebration in Coloma this month!

Trail maintenance is fun! Loved hanging with this year's Ambassadors-- a collection of fearless and caring young environmental stewards who worked at field sites throughout the basin this year. ⁠

In this year's Ambassador program we spent time educating young environmental stewards to connect with an audience and here's what they said:⁠
⁠
"The most impactful thing by far is talking to people. It helps spread a stewardship message of Tahoe, and helped me get a greater understanding of the people who do visit Tahoe. This bridges the gap between 'local' and 'tourist'."⁠

Gone fishing (for garbage). Today is the day we partner with the @tahoeareasierraclub and @stio to host our very own site of the Great Sierra River Cleanup. We'll be at Pope Beach in South Lake Tahoe from 9-12 with a shuttle running from 8:45-9 to bring you into the parking lot from the road. Come and join our cleanup effort and enjoy some @starbucks coffee and Stio raffle prizes and snacks. ⁠

From the vast Mojave to the sprawling Cascades, water in the Sierra Nevada is life giving. Tomorrow we unite with over 21 organizations hosting river, stream, and beach waste collection efforts during the Great Sierra River Cleanup. We're in awe of how the power of community can magnify conservation efforts across the region and wish you all luck at your cleanup site! ⁠

"We got to talk to lots of people and help them navigate around Tahoe and give insightful information. I gained better public speaking skills and better interpretive skills." ⁠
⁠
This year our Ambassadors became stewards of the Tahoe region, stationed at key sites all around the lake doing everything from trash pickup to visitor information distribution and more. Programs like this are vital to helping young area residents become passionate about environmental advocacy and interested in careers in the field so that we can build our workforce.⁠

“Our Ambassador supervisors were fantastic and really made the program work on the ground. They were able to be flexible based on what was happening in the area and which sites needed help.” Kirstin Guinn, NTCA⁠
⁠
Pictured here are supervisors Katie and Rian, at host site Skylandia beach. The goal of the Ambassador Program is to provide pre-workforce development in the sciences for high school through college-age people looking to go into conservation work, and out of the bunch who apply we choose leaders to help supervise. It was a pleasure watching these two lead and grow as environmental advocates this year. ⁠
