As we prepare for winter while still trying to get the last of the good dirt, we’re excited to announce the launch of our 2024 end-of-year giving drive.
We’ve set the ambitious goal of raising $250,000 for Tahoe trails between now and the end of December and we need your support this giving season to make it happen.
The demand for trails is increasing, and TAMBA is proud to be a highly valued trail building and stewardship partner to land managers in the basin, as well as an impactful voice for our community.
We have achieved a huge amount this year and are excited to play an integral role in building 45 miles of new multi-use trails in the basin upon approval of the US Forest Service’s Basin Wide Trails Analysis Project. However, due to expected federal funding and capacity cuts next year, we’re more reliant than ever on the generous support of our donors to make this huge opportunity a reality.
Donate to our end-of-year giving drive and help support the bright future of Tahoe trails.
