As a Tahoe enthusiast, you know that Lake Tahoe can’t take care of itself. It needs your help and the League’s to stay healthy and beautiful.  Our CEO, Dr. Darcie Collins, is making sure Tahoe is ready to confront the impacts of climate change by looking for solutions far beyond the Tahoe Basin.

Through Global Landscape Stewards, Darcie and the League are going international to learn how conservationists around the world are caring for their landscapes, so we can adapt and apply those lessons in Tahoe.

Ride along on a trip to Garry Kadwell's farm near Crookwell, New South Wales, one of many conservation sites visited during the Global Landscape Stewards' exchange to Australia in fall 2022.

As a leader of the California Landscape Stewardship Network and partner of the Center for Large Landscape Conservation, Darcie and the League organized and participated in an exchange with partners from Australia to trade ideas, share experiences and help put solutions on the ground. The country was chosen because it faces many of the same environmental threats as the Sierra Nevada: fire, floods and drought.

Just a few days into the trip, Darcie learned how well known and respected the Keep Tahoe Blue brand is overseas. Our Australian counterparts listened closely when Darcie shared lessons from Tahoe, thanks to the lake’s and the League’s many successes.

One crucial lesson that was on display in Australia is the transformational power of indigenous knowledge and the respect it deserves. Cultural burning is an important element used across the continent to promote healthy landscapes. Seeing that success inspires us to do more here at home. Stay tuned.
