Tahoe Yellow Cress Restoration at Baldwin Beach

Keep Tahoe Blue is excited to partner with the US Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit and Tahoe Regional Planning Agency to support Tahoe Yellow Cress Restoration at Baldwin Beach. Tahoe Yellow Cress (Rorippa subumbellata) is a small, flowering plant endemic to Tahoe's sandy beaches. It has become endangered largely due to human impacts on habitat.

Volunteers will be supporting restoration efforts by planting Tahoe Yellow Cress, removing invasive terrestrial weeds, and conducting litter cleanups.

What to bring: Sturdy boots/closed-toed shoes, clothing that can get dirty, sunglasses, work gloves (if you have them), a full reusable water bottle, and any special snacks you may want.

We provide: Project equipment, gloves and other safety gear, and training

If you're interested and available to volunteer, please sign up for the shift that works best for you. If you have any questions please reach out to julie@keeptahoeblue.org.
