Truckee River Day and Fair

Work alongside your friends & and make new ones – as together we repair and restore our watershed. Truckee River Day projects are designed to boost the benefits of large-scale restoration construction that has been completed in recent years. Activities like spreading native seed, planting willows, mulching, building beaver dams, improving trails and stabilizing streambanks help to recharge groundwater, increase moisture to vegetation that supports critical habitat, and keeps water flowing in our streams later into the dry season.

Truckee River Day will be on Sunday, Oct. 20 from 9 a.m.-2:30 p.m. at various locations on the watershed. Restoration projects begin at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. and are open for all ages and abilities.
