The Sierra State Parks Foundation is requesting funds to sustain a certified interpreter who provides virtual PORTS programming (Parks Online Resources for Teachers and Students) and free-of-cost in-person educational programs to the public at the Lake Tahoe California State Parks for 2025.
Program topics include the Donner Party, Fire Ecology, and the Web of Life. State funds are not available to provide this critical educational position and continuation is dependent on the generosity of private donors. Sponsor one student for $5 or an entire class for $150!
California State Parks Online Resources for Teachers and Students (PORTS) provides K12 students with the opportunity to connect with the diverse cultural, natural, and historic resources of our State through free virtual field trips. State Parks donate technical support and training in-kind.
Help make our rich cultural and natural Tahoe history accessible to kids in our region and around the world!
With your help in previous years, we were able to accomplish:
In 2024, the Donner Memorial and Lake Tahoe Sector State Parks Interpretation achieved remarkable success thanks to the vital partnership with the Sierra State Parks Foundation. The various programs reached nearly 54,000 people!
