Clean Up the Lake

Clean Up The Lake hosted its first Donner Lake Litter Seminar this spring, bringing together environmental leaders, community members, and agency partners to address litter reduction and data-driven stewardship at Donner Lake. The event focused on infrastructure improvements, behavior change strategies, and sustainable funding solutions to preserve the lake's natural beauty.

Alibi Ale Works was bustling with a packed house on Thursday night, March 6, where Clean Up The Lake debuted its new docu-series, What Lies Unseen. Patrons enjoyed beer and food as they viewed the first three episodes of a series that focuses on scuba diving missions aimed at protecting and remediating freshwater lakes, highlighting not only cleanup efforts but also the exploration of hidden history, environmental education, and the impacts of invasive species and climate change.

Clean Up the Lake has removed 1,526 lbs. of submerged litter from Donner Lake over the last few months. The dive team removed more than half a ton of the litter in 18 dives conducted over 11 days, according to a press release.

Now through June 10, Alpenglow Sports is encouraging people to take part in its fourth annual Community Book Initiative.

Clean Up the Lake is embarking on a light-hearted and comedic journey to develop creative content that promotes boating safety, in collaboration with the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency.

Clean Up The Lake, the environmental non-profit responsible for the 72-mile cleanup of Lake Tahoe, has recently completed a two-year monitoring effort on the lake. CUTL conservation dive teams revisited 20 litter hotspots in the 0 to 25-foot depths along the Nevada shoreline that were identified during the 72-mile cleanup of Lake Tahoe in 2021.

Clean Up The Lake, an environmental nonprofit group, completed its first SCUBA-enabled pilot research project in Echo Lakes, evaluating litter and surveying for aquatic invasive species.
