What we'll do
Join us in protecting Tahoe Yellow Cress (Rorippa subumbellata), a delicate yellow-flowering plant that grows only along the shores of Lake Tahoe. This rare native species is listed as endangered in California and plays an important role in the health of Tahoe’s unique beach ecosystem.
At Baldwin Beach, Keep Tahoe Blue is partnering with the U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency to support Tahoe Yellow Cress recovery by planting native cress in protected areas, removing invasive terrestrial weeds, and cleaning up litter along the beach. Volunteer with us to make a direct impact on one of Tahoe’s most vulnerable native plants and help restore critical beachfront habitat at Baldwin Beach.
