As the year is coming to a close and the celebration of Thanksgiving begins, we would like to take a moment to reflect on this past year and extend our sincerest gratitude to you.

You may be a Weed Warrior, Ambassador, or Truckee River Day volunteer…

You may be a donor

You may participate in Adopt-A-Stream, River-Friendly Landscaping or have attended a River Talk

You may simply have a great appreciation for the Truckee River watershed and all it has to offer…

However you may be connected to the Watershed Council, we thank you for your involvement in helping to protect, enhance and restore the Truckee River watershed. In closing, a quote to reside with you through your Thanksgiving weekend.

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” – John Fitzgerald Kennedy
