Shop at Tahoe Businesses that Keep Squaw True

If you’re in Tahoe and need to do some last-minute holiday shopping, how about shopping at local businesses that are standing up to Keep Squaw True?

Two weeks ago, Sierra Watch delivered a letter to Placer County officials, signed by more than 40 local businesses and non-profits, who recognize that irresponsible development in Squaw Valley is a threat to the:

“natural resources, recreational opportunities, local businesses, and visitor experience that define life in North Lake Tahoe.”

And they signed their businesses and names onto a clear request to Placer County officials, asking them to:

“reject KSL’s proposed development and, instead, encourage landowners and the community to work together to create a blueprint that makes sense for Squaw, Tahoe, and beyond.”

The letter provides another example of how we work together to protect the places we love.
