The Truckee River region – where the beauty of nature draws people who revel in it – is threatened. A damaging past (from mining, grazing, and logging) coupled with a tenuous future (from drought, development, and climate change) impacts the outdoor lifestyle people cherish. TRWC reverses this impact by creating a vibrant and healthy watershed.
Our goal is for everyone and everything – from bugs and beavers, to bicyclists and birdwatches – to flourish in this magnificent, interconnected environment.
We’re moving ahead with a number of projects to meet this goal. Much of the work taking place this year was bid in 2019 and 2020 and likewise contracts were awarded.
However, in 2021 we’ll still be hiring a few consultants and contractors.
