Buckle up, Tahoe tribe, the League to Save Lake Tahoe just dropped the environmental mic with their stunning new headquarters. Nestled in the heart of South Lake Tahoe, this isn’t just another building; it’s a sustainability powerhouse that’s about to revolutionize how we protect our beloved alpine playground.
Set to officially open on July 11, the Spurlock/Evers Environment & Education Center is a testament to what happens when passion meets purpose. Think of it as environmental activism meets cutting-edge design, this LEED-certified marvel is basically the superhero headquarters of lake conservation.
More Than Just a Building
Imagine a space crafted from recycled denim insulation, featuring a living roof that captures carbon like a boss, and incorporating salvaged wood from the 2021 Caldor Fire. This isn’t greenwashing; this is next-level environmental commitment. CEO Darcie Goodman Collins isn’t mincing words: they’re preparing to tackle climate change, invasive species, and political uncertainties head-on.
A Community Hub with Serious Impact
The center isn’t just for tree-huggers (though we love them). It’s a public space designed to engage everyone, interactive exhibits, a native plant garden, an amphitheater for speaker series, and even a sustainability-focused store. Whether you’re a hardcore local or a weekend warrior, there’s something here that’ll spark your eco-passion.
The grand opening on July 11 promises to be epic: staff-led tours, short talks, food trucks, live music, and a vibe that screams “we’re saving the planet, and we’re having a blast doing it”.
So mark your calendars, Tahoe fam. This isn’t just a new building, it’s a declaration that we’re ready to keep our lake blue, our mountains pristine, and our community resilient. Learn more about the event
