'Godfather of Tahoe Beach Clean Ups' still at it after 17 years

What began two years ago as an organized response to firework debris found on South Lake Tahoe beaches has turned into a major community wide trash pick up effort, gathering what beach goers left behind after the 4th of July activities.

But cleaning up beaches on the South Shore isn't anything new for long-time local Kenny Curtzwiler. One could call him the 'Godfather of Tahoe Beach Clean Ups."

Adopt-A-Beach Program in South Lake Tahoe

“Caring is Cool - Lake Tahoe’s clarity starts with you, and there are a number of ways to help!”

That is the 2014 Beach Clean Up theme developed through joint efforts of the City of South Lake Tahoe, Lake Tahoe Visitor's Authority, Douglas County and the U.S. Forest Service Basin Management Unit.

Local agencies are partnering to launch an “Adopt-a-Beach-Tahoe” program that will coordinate regular beach clean up dates around Lake Tahoe from June 15 to September 15.
