From restoring meadows to improving bike and pedestrian paths, the EIP drives investments in projects that protect water quality, reduce wildfire risk, restore ecosystems, and support sustainable recreation.
we exist to
Protect Lake Tahoe’s world-renowned water clarity and communities.
Restore forests, watersheds, and critical habitats to ensure long-term health.
Strengthen the resilience of local communities against climate-driven threats.
Sustain Tahoe’s historic, environmental, and economic vitality for generations to come.
WHAT WE DO
Watersheds & Water Quality
Clarity doesn’t protect itself. From urban stormwater retrofit projects to naturalized floodplains, we’re working upstream to ensure clean water downstream.
Forest Health
A healthy forest isn’t one that is spared from wildfire, it’s one that’s prepared for it. We’re thinning forests, restoring wildlife habitats, and making neighborhoods more resilient across the Tahoe Basin.
Sustainable Recreation & Transportation
Tahoe’s outdoors are iconic, and responsible recreation ensures it stays that way. Our work helps people experience Tahoe in ways that preserve nature and help communities thrive.
Science, Stewardship, & Accountability
Science drives EIP investment. We track what works, adapt to emerging needs, and hold ourselves accountable to both the public and the environment.
