“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. ⁠

We love seeing collaboration for the iconic waters of Lake Tahoe 💙⁠
⁠
A dedicated team of divers is joining forces to protect the unique underwater ecosystem of Emerald Bay by removing a one-and-a-half-acre Eurasian watermilfoil infestation. Thanks to the combined efforts of @trpa_tahoe, @tahoercd, and @tahoefund, divers will be able to get to the infestation before it grows out of control.⁠

September is a crucial month for bears in the wild! 🐻⁠
⁠
As the seasons change, bears are bulking up on food, especially berries, as last-minute meals before hibernation. Be sure to give space to any bears you encounter out in the wild and stay aware of your surroundings so you don’t surprise any hungry animals.⁠

Exciting news in the Eastern Sierra 🏞️⁠
⁠
Thanks to the hard work of Friends of the Inyo, an appeals court has overturned the Forest Service's approval of gold drilling in Inyo National Forest’s Long Valley area - a mining project that poses a huge threat to the Sage Grouse population, among other factors.⁠
⁠
This decision is a major win for environmental conservation and a reminder that our united voices can protect our natural wonders!⁠
