The California Tahoe Conservancy (Conservancy) invites community members to the next round of public meetings on the Marsh South Restoration Project on November 18 and 19, 2026. At the two meetings, the Conservancy will engage the public about the proposed restoration project in the southern part of méšuk málɨm, formerly known as the Upper Truckee Marsh, in South Lake Tahoe. Proposed project elements include significant river and wetland restoration downstream of U.S. Highway 50, including the site of the former Motel 6. To facilitate the restoration, the Conservancy also proposes to modify the South Tahoe Bikeway and river access. … The Conservancy proposes to restore historical wetland habitat, which will include removing fill from past development, lowering the floodplain to reconnect it to the river, and removing encroaching conifers.
