Tahoe Talks on the Water: Exploring Science in Action: Citizen Science Tahoe, Pollinator and Whitebark Pine Research
Enjoy a relaxing evening of free-flowing fine wine by Highway 12 Winery, a riveting talk by a specialist in their field, and the great company of like-minded outdoor lovers while aboard the iconic paddleboat, the Tahoe Gal.
Join the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center for an engaging evening highlighting how science, community participation, and conservation come together to better understand and protect the Lake Tahoe Basin.
Tickets are $60 per person and include the cruise, wine, and a guided program. Dinner is available, with menu items ranging from $12 to $25 (e.g., sandwiches, salads, and small plates). A cash bar will be available. Seats are limited, so a reservation is required. Proceeds benefit the many great works of the Sierra State Parks Foundation.
We highly recommend guests arrive at 5:30 pm as the boat leaves sharply at 6 pm! We predict the boat will return to the docks at 8:30 pm.
