May 14th – 16th Annual Snapshot Day

Join us for hands-on-water quality monitoring of our watershed by participating with  our Adopt-A-Stream event. Monitoring teams will collect data that is used for restoration projects and overall watershed protection.

Snapshot Day covers as much geographic area as possible in order to capture a “snapshot” in time of water quality for the entire Truckee River watershed. Samples are taken from the Lake Tahoe Basin and follow the Truckee River watershed all the way to Pyramid Lake.

  • Family Friendly event!
  • School groups welcome!
  • BBQ from 12:00 – 1:00
  • Team Leader Training is scheduled for Thursday, May 5th for those interested in leading stream teams.
