Keeping Tahoe Blue & the Creation Green
Beautiful Lake Tahoe beckons you to Zephyr Point as we look at the environmental issues of this lake basin and beyond. Creation is struggling for renewal.
Take a behind-the-scenes look at what is being done to restore the clarity of the lake and what each of us can do to become better stewards of what has been left in our care. This week features outstanding speakers and several field trips.
