Adopt-A-Stream program

Tracking the chemical and physical characteristics of a stream is important. It helps us learn what’s working—and where we can do more. So volunteer as a family, a group or on your own. And get ready to wade in the water, use scientific techniques and have some fun.

How you help
About us

Back in the 70s and 80s, the Truckee River region was threatened. Species of fish had disappeared. Essential invertebrates were dwindling. Entire meadows were drying up. We believe a more sustainable tomorrow starts with the watershed. Our goal is to restore the resiliency of our environment—so nature and humanity can thrive together for generations. Today, Truckee River Day is just one piece of our work. We now spearhead multiple large-scale restoration projects, and assessment and prevention efforts.
