Dear friend,

We are thankful for supporters and friends like you who make an incredible impact in the watershed, bringing clean water, wildlife habitat and watershed function to our area. You keep our watershed extraordinary.

As you reflect on the past year, the past month, and even this week, consider your special river, meadow, or lake in the Truckee River watershed. Think of every wonderful memory you made at Perazzo Meadows, Donner Lake, Martis Valley, or another favorite spot in these 285,000 acres of watershed. You are a part of these special places. You are helping to save these places.

We still need your help.

Begin your year by making a pledge to help our watershed. Make a donation today to help the Watershed Council complete 50 projects over the next 10 years to protect, enhance and restore our natural resources. We can make a difference with your help.

There is still time to join our Together for the Truckee Society and have your donation matched! See here for more details on this exciting Challenge Gift. Any contribution you make today will be more than a gift to the Watershed Council. You’ll be giving an opportunity to keep our watershed extraordinary.

With deep gratitude and best wishes for the new year,

Lisa Wallace, Executive Director
