About Us

One Truckee River (OTR) is a nonprofit that manages a coalition of public and private partners working together towards our mission: to ensure a healthy and thriving river connected to its community. Our Partnership Council includes representatives from local agencies and nonprofits collaborating to improve water quality, create a thriving environment, conduct education and outreach, and facilitate long-term management of the Truckee River, as guided by our Management Plan. 

The One Truckee River staff and Board of Directors focus on sparking partner collaboration and supporting fundraising for project implementation. As the majority of the Truckee River and its corridor are managed and regulated by federal, state, and local agencies, One Truckee River supports and assists these organizations in implementing watershed management initiatives and working towards our shared goals.

Truckee River Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit doing business as One Truckee River.
