Upcoming Events

Are you excited about ensuring a healthy and thriving river connected to its community?

Join One Truckee River at our FREE upcoming community events!

There are so many ways to enjoy, appreciate, and spend time along the Truckee River. With One Truckee River's new event series, it's easier than ever to get out and about on the river, while getting to know your neighbors.

Check out the listings below for our river-education walks, and community workshops. Whether you live, work, or spend time along the Truckee River and its watershed – we look forward to sharing our appreciation for the Truckee River with you.

State of the Riverbank

May 16th   10am-12pm – Cottonwood Park

May 23rd   10am-12pm – Caughlin Park

Join Iris Jehle-Peppard, One Truckee River’s Executive Director, for a walk along the Truckee River Path. Together, we’ll observe and document the state of the river while learning about regional coordinated vegetation management efforts.

As we stroll along the Truckee, we’ll note the plant species we find – and talk about why they matter so much for wildlife, residents, and visitors. We’ll share an update on One Truckee River's riverbank repair projects along key stretches of the waterway flowing through the heart of our community. As we explore, we’ll discover more about local efforts to improve the Truckee River Corridor.

Gardening Workshop: Making the Most of Water

Saturday, May 30th, 10am-12pm, Lake Park

How can we make the most of our high desert home’s 8 annual inches of rainfall? Join One Truckee River and landscape architect and horticulturist Tom Stille to learn about key strategies for making the most of water in our home gardens.

In this FREE workshop, we’ll talk about mini meadows, buffer strips, and drought-tolerant native plants. By using water efficiently and preventing water from flowing off our properties and down the storm drains, we can improve our river’s water quality – while growing beautiful, low-maintenance gardens!

Making the Most of Water will be held in the River-Friendly Living Demonstration Garden in Lake Park, which Tom Stille led the foundational buildout for in 2024. The Demonstration Garden showcases landscaping features, native plants, and eco-techniques to improve home-gardens – while saving time and money.

Bring your favorite camping chair, a notepad, and your landscaping questions – and get ready to improve your yard with the Truckee River in mind.
