UC Davis Tahoe City Field Station

The grounds at the Historic Fish Hatchery are always open and the signs provide a self guided tour of the native plant gardening and natural habitat. The interpretive signs are readable in the exterior Street View photospheres I made, which form a virtual tour around the outside walkway.. The Eriksson Educational Center is a cozy room in the building that contains exhibits about the history of the building, the native fishery, invasive species, and research at the lake. It is portrayed in Street View with three linked photospheres. The main interior of the building is usually not accessible but you can get an excellent view of it from the four photospheres of that room on Street View. It is possible with a click on a chevron arrow to jump through closed doors and walls, so that every node on the tour can be reached starting from any given node. If you get lost, then consult the little guide window and drag the pegman to a different blue dot. The building is formally known as the UC Davis Tahoe City Field Station, but many locals still refer to it as the Historic Fish Hatchery.

Worth a stop in summer. These are the people who measure how far down a plate goes in the lake

US Davis Tahoe City Field Station Came across US Davis Tahoe City Field Station during my 10-day stay at Lake Tahoe for working company retreat. UC Davis holds special place in my heart. Got excited! Returned twice to check it out and take photos. Walked around the native plant demonstration garden, read all the posted info, in support of environmental research, preserving Lake Tahoe natural ecology & education center. "This is the place to explore, discover and learn about what we can do to keep Tahoe blue." Pretty important place, if you ask me! There's an outdoor pathway around the building and the demonstration garden with native plants. It makes sense to go native, because native plants thrive in natural soil and climate without much of a special effort, extra watering, or fertilization with chemicals, plus they are adopted to native pests! Ericsson Education Center is focused on protective and restorative efforts for Lake Tahoe ecology. It was still closed down for COVID when I visited. There's also Bill Combs Memorial Boathouse on the property. He was a prominent Lake Tahoe advocate who served as a board member for various foundations and helped raise funds for Tahoe research and education. The boats and equipment are used to study the root causes of the decline in Lake Tahoe legendary clarity. I would definitely visit again when I'm back in this area. Location: northbound of Tahoe City on Hwy 28 to Dollar Point. I presume they will keep pre-pandemic work hours for indoor exhibits when the field station re-opens: 8am - 6pm Memorial Day through Labor Day. If you prefer a guided tour, they are given on Saturdays 10am - 2pm and could be arranged by calling 775-881-7566 or via email tercinfo@ucdavis.edu. Pictures posted taken on Sunday 6/13/2021.
