History

Established in 1957.

Since its founding in 1957, the League has been monitoring development and recreation plans, and working with local, state and federal lawmakers to take action to save Lake Tahoe. Our focus has been consistent for over 55 years: We urge policy makers to do what is best for the lake over the long-​term. We try to persuade them to protect the public’s interest in a pristine lake, rather than acquiesce to short-​term political, economic or private interests. The League started as a small movement of concerned citizens, but the organization quickly grew to be the most influential voice for environmental protection at Tahoe.
