Team leaders (new and returning) are required to attend the training. This is where you will get hands on practice using all of the testing materials that we will be using in the field on Snapshot Day and be able to ask any questions of our Snapshot Day experts.

Volunteer: Tahoe Forest Stewardship Day - Spring - 6/13/2026

What we are doing: Join us for a hands-on restoration project at Marlette Creek, near Thunderbird Lodge on Lake Tahoe’s east shore. This site was restored in fall 2025 to improve water quality, stream function, riparian habitat, and fish habitat, and to reduce erosion and stormwater impacts from nearby roadways. After winter conditions, the area now needs additional planting and follow‑up care to help the restoration fully succeed.

As a volunteer, you’ll help with planting native vegetation and other restoration tasks that stabilize the stream bank, strengthen riparian habitat, and prevent further erosion. Work may also include assisting with adaptive management activities that support long‑term stream health, such as enhancing floodplain roughness or helping with light vegetation management under staff guidance.

This is a fun, hands‑on restoration event open to volunteers of all ages and skill levels. You’ll work alongside restoration professionals and fellow volunteers to make a meaningful impact on a Lake Tahoe watershed. No prior experience is required—tools, training, and support will be provided. Come prepared to get a little dirty and be part of restoring a healthier, more resilient stream ecosystem.

Parking location: Parking will be limited. Please carpool, if possible. More information to come on variety of parking locations available.

Meeting location: Chimney Beach Parking Area (Along Hwy 28 near Geo Whittell Rd, Carson City, NV)

Volunteer: Tahoe Forest Stewardship Day - Spring - Volunteer Lead - 6/13/2026

What we are doing: Volunteer Leads play a key role in supporting the Spring Tahoe Forest Stewardship Day at Marlette Creek on Lake Tahoe’s east shore. This project focuses on planting native vegetation and completing follow‑up restoration work to stabilize the stream bank, reduce erosion, and support long‑term stream health.

As a Volunteer Lead, you’ll work alongside staff to help facilitate the restoration activities and ensure the day runs smoothly. This may include helping welcome volunteers, providing basic task guidance, answering questions, and assisting with overall flow and organization at the site.

This role is ideal for volunteers who are comfortable taking on light leadership responsibilities and supporting both staff and fellow volunteers in a hands‑on outdoor setting. Prior Tahoe Forest Stewardship Day or restoration work experience is helpful but not required—training, tools, and staff support will be provided.

Parking location: Parking will be limited please carpool, if possible. More information to come on variety of parking locations available.

Meeting location: Chimney Beach Parking Area (Along Hwy 28 near Geo Whittell Rd, Carson City, NV)
