Lee Vining Creek Trail

The Mono Lake Committee is a dedicated group of individuals who are passionate about preserving and protecting Mono Lake, an ancient saline lake located at the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada in California. With its trillions of brine shrimp, millions of birds, and iconic tufa towers, Mono Lake is not only a natural wonder but also a vital water source for Los Angeles. Through legal battles, ongoing advocacy, and restoration efforts, the Mono Lake Committee has been working since 1978 to ensure a balanced solution that provides enough water for both people and the environment.

With a successful track record of stopping excessive diversions and raising awareness about wise water use, the Mono Lake Committee continues to educate the next generation and restore the lake's tributary streams and surrounding lands. Their efforts have led to a rise in the lake's water level, but there is still work to be done to reach the State Water Board's ordered healthy level. Join the grassroots voice for Mono Lake and be part of the movement to preserve this unique ecosystem for generations to come.
