Last month Placer County invited members of the public to our inaugural "Discover and Discuss" event in North Lake Tahoe to ask questions and share feedback about regional projects and programs. Over 120 community members joined 30 county staff and ten partner agencies at the event in Kings Beach to learn more about shaping the vision of a vibrant, healthy, and sustainable Tahoe. From housing to transportation, construction to land use, participants had a chance to meet face-to-face with regional experts, ask questions and provide feedback. It was an invaluable opportunity to learn about the diverse range of initiatives, programs, and projects enriching our region. This is the first of future planned events to provide new and important information to the Placer County community in North Lake Tahoe. Stay tuned for further announcements. LEARN MORE

Twenty-five new engraved bears are now hanging from the railings in Tahoe City’s Heritage Plaza through a partnership with the Tahoe Fund, Placer County and the Tahoe City Public Utility District to raise money for trails in North Lake Tahoe. Since launching the new program this fall, more than $100,000 has been raised for trails through the generosity of private donors. The engraved bears, originally available along the popular Tahoe East Shore Trail, have been embraced by those who love Tahoe and want a way to memorialize their investment and commitment to improving the Tahoe environment for all to enjoy. “Partnerships like this with the Tahoe Fund not only help bring important trail projects to fruition, they demonstrate the value our community places on projects that enhance the Tahoe experience for all,” said Cindy Gustafson, Placer County District 5 Supervisor.
