Honoring Dr. Charles Goldman

Dear Friend of Lake Tahoe, For more than 50 years, science has shaped environmental policy at Lake Tahoe. The goal: to protect and preserve the Basin’s unique ecosystem. We have Dr. Charles Goldman to thank for blazing this important trail, where data and advocacy combine to Keep Tahoe Blue.

His groundbreaking work in the field of limnology (lake science) contributed to milestone environmental protections for Tahoe, including preventing sewage from being pumped into the Lake, and putting out-of-control development in check. Some of the League’s earliest victories in protecting the Lake are thanks to Dr. Goldman’s data and advocacy.

To celebrate and honor Dr. Goldman’s 90th birthday, the League to Save Lake Tahoe and UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC) have combined to launch the Thanks a Million Campaign to build a Charles Goldman Endowed Fund. This Fund will continue the tradition of critical research at Lake Tahoe and lakes worldwide by supporting a diverse stream of graduate students in perpetuity. The Fund will provide stipends for students to lead and conduct the research needed to continue Dr. Goldman’s legacy. As a science-based organization, the League firmly believes in the model set by Dr. Goldman. Please consider supporting the next generation of scientific pioneers whose work may also Keep Tahoe Blue.   Additional details about the TERC-administered Fund are available here. With gratitude,

Darcie Goodman Collins, PhD CEO, League to Save Lake Tahoe

Thank you, Dr. Goldman
