It was twenty years ago when Sierra Watch set up a booth for the first time at Tahoe Truckee Earth Day.
We were a brand new organization, eagerly setting out to Save Martis Valley. We didn’t even have bumper stickers. We had postcards – and asked people to sign them to “Support a healthy future for Martis Valley and the Tahoe-Truckee region.”
Those little postcards must have worked – as building blocks in a long-term effort that keeps protecting the places we love.
And we keep coming back to Tahoe Truckee Earth Day; it’s always a great way to connect with the community and build our grassroots movement for Sierra conservation. Pretty much what Earth Day is all about.

That is except for the time in 2016 when the would be developers of Olympic Valley (what we then called Squaw Valley) kicked us out of the event. That’s right: the developers kicked the environmentalists out of Earth Day(!).
