To kick off Wild Tahoe Weekend, TINS will host the 12th annual Lake Tahoe Bird Festival, Saturday, June 29 from 10am until 3pm.

The very next day on June 30, LTBMU and Great Basin Institute will host the Native Species Festival. This festival is a great way to spend the day outdoors and learn about the many native plant and animal species of the Lake Tahoe Basin. Attend walks led by field professionals and explore educational booths from various public and nonprofit agencies. Participants will experience frequent visits from Lulu the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout and Smokey Bear.
