TRTA Photo Contest Calendar

You may have seen this colorful and inclusive design welcoming users onto the trail this season. The mastermind behind this creation participated in the TRTA’s 2021 poster contest along with 79 other students. Elementary and middle school classrooms from the region used this public education opportunity to explore Leave No Trace ethics and enhance local natural spaces. The winning poster, created by thirdgrader Amahla Stosic, was displayed at TRT-trailheads around the Lake to provide users a visual representation of how they can recreate responsibly on the trail. To ensure the seven Leave No Trace principles are accessible to the Tahoe area’s diverse communities, students from Mt Rose Elementary School created bi-lingual posters. With nearly a halfmillion trail users passing by TRT trailheads each year, young stewards show us just how powerful a piece of paper can be. Students from Mt. Rose Elementary School display their poster submissions.
