P.O. We work for the watershed. Our work is multifaceted. Part science: assessing and monitoring the biology, geology, and hydrology of each project. Part management: pulling together agencies, consultants and contractors needed to get the job done. And part funding: finding the grants, foundations and donors needed to finance these ambitious multi-year efforts. Finally, it's getting the word out: educating locals, visitors and downstream water-users about our stressed and endangered eco-system. By managing large-scale restoration projects, influencing emerging policies to mitigate risk, and engaging people from all age, interest and economic backgrounds, we work to make the watershed more resilient, sustainable and alive.

"The health of the land and the health of the people are tied together, and what happens to the land also happens to the people. When the land suffers so too are the people." – A. Brian Wallace, Former Washoe Tribe Chairman

Since time immemorial, the Wá∙šiw (Washoe) people have stewarded the lands in and around the Truckee River watershed. Their understanding of watershed health and co-existence across the landscape is vast, and their partnership invaluable. This Indigenous Peoples' Day, TRWC extends heartfelt appreciation for all that the Washoe Tribe has done and continues to do for the watershed upon which we all depend.

Today is the 33rd annual National Public Lands Day!

Every year since 1994, hundreds of thousands of volunteers nationwide have rolled up their sleeves alongside the National Park Service to help preserve our cherished public lands.

If you aren't signed up for a volunteer project today – or even if you are! – TRWC can't think of a better way to honor our own community's precious watershed and public lands than signing up to volunteer at Truckee River Day!
