Keep Tahoe Blue is seeking volunteers to help collect parking data at Emerald Bay. This effort will support ongoing work to better understand and manage visitation in this high-use area.

- Record data using a provided form
- Complete car counts hourly
Team roles (3 people required):

- Counter for the mountain side of the road
Counters will record the number of vehicles parked within designated zones along the highway.
What you’ll need:
- A vehicle to transport your team
- A team of three volunteers (you plus two others)
- Come to the office before/at the start of your shift to receive materials and training from staff

Available dates:

Time commitment: Volunteer shifts are approximately 4.5 hours, depending on conditions, however if volunteers are out in the field for longer than 4.5 hours, to update me at julie@keeptahoeblue.org so I can make sure your time is reflected accurately.
