Lake Tahoe Summit History
The inaugural Lake Tahoe Summit took place in 1997, spearheaded by Nevada Senator Harry Reid, California Senator Dianne Feinstein, and President Bill Clinton. The event brought together federal, state, and local leaders, the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California, scientists, environmental advocates, and economic interests to address the deteriorating clarity of Lake Tahoe’s waters. It marked a defining moment in bipartisan collaboration to protect one of the nation’s most iconic and treasured landscapes. It also jumpstarted a decades-long, bi-state partnership to restore Lake Tahoe’s water quality and strengthen the region’s environment and economy for future generations.
Today the Lake Tahoe Environmental Improvement Program (EIP) is implemented by more than 80 organizations and is one of the most successful large-scale conservation programs in the nation. The annual Tahoe Summit continues to bring together local and national leaders and the community to celebrate progress and call attention to the outstanding challenges and emerging threats facing the Lake Tahoe Region.
Restoration in Progress
Protecting a National Treasure
Since 1997, the Lake Tahoe Environmental Improvement Program (EIP) has been the driving force behind the Tahoe Basin’s environmental restoration. 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.
In the 1990s, after witnessing a rapid decline in lake clarity and the surrounding environment, Lake Tahoe leaders came together to launch the Environmental Improvement Program, or EIP. To date, this collaboration of more than 80 public and private organizations has completed more than 900 projects to restore and enhance Lake Tahoe and its communities.
