Donner Lake Litter Prevention
Donner Lake, CA

Project Goals
Our team has dedicated several years to improving the environment in and around Donner Lake. So far, we have completed: Phase 1: Pilot Research, Phase 2: Circumnavigated Clean up, Phase 3: Data analysis & Program Development, and Phase 4: Monitoring and at this level we are on Phase 5. This includes litter prevention programs that engage and empower visitors and locals alike. So far we have worked with the Town of Truckee, TDRPD and Building 180 to construct a litter-art sculpture at the Donner Lake Public Boat Launch called “WEIGHTLESS”. We have also completed over 37 signs on public piers asking for people to be aware and encouraging them to clean up after themselves and finally we are also hosting a Litter Prevention Seminar in February 2025.
