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

Saturday, August 29th   10am-12pm – Idlewild Park

Saturday, September 19th   10am-12pm – Brodhead 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 each of these key stretches of the waterway, as it flows through the heart of our community. As we explore, we’ll discover more about local efforts to improve the Truckee River Corridor.

Bird & Bug Blitz

SUNday, SEPTEMBER 27th 9AM-11PM - Lake Park

Discover nature that can be found right in our backyards – including common birds, creepy crawly bugs, butterflies, and more! We’ll begin our Lake Park exploration with a short discussion about the creatures we’re likely to find, and why they matter.

Then, we’ll walk (and poke) around the lake to see what we can find. Mallard ducks, American robin, American goldfinch, and a colorful variety of spiders, bees, and butterflies can often be found in Lake Park. With milkweed flowers in bloom, we’ll keep watch for monarch butterflies.

Bring your notebooks and pencils to track what you see and experience, as well as a hat, sunscreen, and binoculars if you have them. Binoculars for loan will be provided.

This event is perfect for wildlife lovers and adventurers of all ages!
