Our Commitment

Environmental Stewardship

Protecting and enhancing the outstanding natural resources of Lake Tahoe for current and future generations.

Home/About/Stewardship

TKPOA is actively participating in several local, basin-wide environmental committees and task groups. We are working with TRPA (Tahoe Region Planning Agency) and TRCD (Tahoe Resource Conservation District) on the study and testing of control methods for aquatic invasive species.

We are participating with The League to Save Lake Tahoe's "Eyes of the Lake" program and on marking storm drains. TKPOA is redoubling its efforts to reach out to our many neighboring communities to advance shared environmental goals.

Landscaping

TKPOA maintains and enhances the natural landscaping throughout the community, using native and drought-tolerant plants that support local ecosystems while reducing water consumption. Our landscaping program prioritizes the preservation of existing mature trees and native vegetation.

  • Native plant installations
  • Drought-tolerant landscaping
  • Tree preservation program
  • Erosion control measures

Water Conservation

Water conservation is a critical priority for TKPOA given our location in a sensitive watershed. We work to reduce water usage throughout the community, improve water quality in our lagoons, and implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) to minimize fine sediment runoff into Lake Tahoe.

  • BMP implementation
  • Fine sediment reduction
  • Lagoon water quality monitoring
  • Irrigation efficiency programs

Community Outreach

TKPOA is actively engaged with neighboring communities, regulatory agencies, and environmental organizations to advance shared conservation goals. We participate in the League to Save Lake Tahoe's 'Eyes of the Lake' program and collaborate on storm drain marking and other community initiatives.

  • League to Save Lake Tahoe partnership
  • Storm drain marking program
  • Neighboring community collaboration
  • Public education and awareness

Wildlife Protection

The Tahoe Keys is home to diverse wildlife including migratory birds, native fish species, and various mammals. TKPOA works to protect wildlife habitats within and around the community, ensuring that our activities minimize disturbance to local fauna.
