The League to Save Lake Tahoe, the donor-funded, science-based organization of environmental experts and Tahoe-lovers behind the movement to Keep Tahoe Blue, has opened its new headquarters in South Lake Tahoe.
The Keep Tahoe Blue Spurlock/Evers Environment & Education Center will serve as the new home for the organization’s ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship, science and community action, according to a press release.
The state-of-the-art center is a LEED-certified building with numerous sustainability features, including insulation made from recycled denim, a living roof that captures carbon and reduces the heat island effect, and materials made from recycled products, including salvaged wood from the 2021 Caldor Fire, and furniture that was upcycled from decommissioned office buildings.
The center will feature interactive exhibits open to the public and include a conference space, a store with sustainability-focused merchandise, a native plant educational garden, and an amphitheater that will host a speaker series, citizen science trainings and other public events.
