Keep Tahoe Blue is encouraging volunteers to help clean up Lake Tahoe's Beaches on the Fifth of July.
On Saturday, Tahoe-lovers are invited to clean up, refresh, and revitalize the Lake’s sandy shores and surrounding areas as part of the 12th annual “Keep Tahoe Red, White & Blue” Cleanup hosted by Keep Tahoe Blue.
“Every July 5, passionate volunteers pour in from inside and outside the region to take part in Tahoe’s largest cleanup event,” said Tahoe Blue Communications Director Chris Joseph. “Many repeat volunteers even plan their annual vacations so they can join. Together, their efforts exemplify how to take care of Tahoe.”
Keep Tahoe Blue is working together with beach managers, concessionaires, and businesses through its Tahoe Blue Beach program to “raise the bar for beach management.” Participating beaches are taking steps to make responsible, Lake-friendly recreation the easy and obvious choice for everyone who comes to the shore.
Zephyr Cove Resort, Tahoe Beach Club, Meeks Bay Resort, and Camp Richardson Resort are all taking part, as is Kings Beach with funding from TOT-TBID Dollars at Work which funds programs that promote community vitality, environmental stewardship, and economic health in North Lake Tahoe.
“Keep Tahoe Blue encourages everyone to protect where you play this holiday weekend and all summer-long,” Joseph said. “With just a few small actions, you can do your part.”
