Tahoe Fund awarded the first grant from the new Tahoe Trails Endowment to support a four-person trail crew from Tahoe Area Mountain Bike Association (TAMBA) this fall. The $11,700 grant will fund work on existing trails in the Tahoe Basin with a focus on erosion control, fixing storm drainage, clearing brush and trees, and improving signage.
Tahoe Fund hopes to grow the endowment to $3 million to fund annual trail maintenance in the region.
While the endowment is being built, Tahoe Fund is also working with trail partners including Tahoe Rim Trail Association, TAMBA, U.S. Forest Service and Nevada State Parks to develop a Regional Trails Plan that will establish a long-term priority ranking for trail work. | tahoefund.org
