Tahoe RCD biologists conducted surveys for avian and bat species during summer 2020 at the California Tahoe Conservancy Upper Truckee Marsh located in South Lake Tahoe, California.  Surveys were conducted to monitor the effects of restoration on species richness and abundance. Restoration of the Upper Truckee Marsh should not only improve habitat for many wildlife species but also restore resiliency and ecological function of this wetlands complex.
