Tahoe's Largest AIS Control Project Underway at Taylor/Tallac Creeks

The USDA Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU), in partnership with the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), has begun the largest invasive plant removal project at Lake Tahoe at the Taylor and Tallac Creeks in South Lake Tahoe.

This new project will remove 17 acres of invasive plants in the Taylor and Tallac creeks and marshes as part of a comprehensive restoration of one of the last natural wetlands in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Left unchecked, aquatic invasive plants can have devastating effects on Tahoe’s ecosystem and recreational resources.

The Tahoe Fund was pleased to provide $100,000 to help make this critical project happen.
