Sierra Valley College Beach Clean-Up and Fundraiser on Oct 28th 2021

On Oct 28th 2021, Sierra Nevada University (SNU) “Sustainability” students, joined by members of the campus People and Planet Club, participated in a local creek/beach clean-up and fundraising event. The event was designed to address the impact of microplastics (and other pollutants) on the Da-oh (Lake Tahoe) Basin watershed. A group of aproximately 40 individuals walked collectively from the SNU campus to Incline Creek combing the area for waste. The event was documented in partnership with the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center to educate locals and visitors towards sustainable stewardship. After the clean-up, Washoe elder Marty Meeden and John Dayberry spoke about the importance of the day and the sacredness of the area. Students seemed to take extra pride in knowing their waste removal work was also raising money for Washiw Tahn-Nu Ungal (The Peoples House), a project of Washiw Zulshish Goom.

Thank you SNC for your generous support!
