CWSD 'Get on the Bus!' Watershed Tour returns June 13-14
After a 4-year hiatus, the Carson Water Subconservancy District is excited to host its 2-day “Get on the Bus!” Carson River Watershed Tour. This headwater-to-terminus trip through the Watershed will be held June 13 & 14 from 8-5 each day. The tour will cover a variety of watershed topics and locations from the headwaters in Alpine County, CA to the Lahontan Dam and Gate House near Fallon.
Among the scheduled stops is the meadow restoration of Faith Valley in Alpine County, Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park, Regenerative Agriculture in Carson Valley, East Silver Saddle Ranch Open Space, Fallon flood protection projects, Regenerative Agriculture in Churchill County, and the water treatment plant in Dayton.
Expert guides will cover several topics including water rights, river restoration projects, water quality and quantity, floodplain management, invasive species, tribal programs, agriculture, recreation, fisheries and habitat, and education and outreach programs.
Videos and presentations will keep travelers informed enroute between stops in the 55-passenger luxury motor coach. The two-day tour costs $175 and includes lunch and snacks. Preference will be given to those who register for both days. Continuing education credits may be offered for engineers, planners, teachers and floodplain managers. Please register here!
