Volunteer for the Truckee River

Are you ready to support the Truckee River Watershed? These One Truckee River coalition partners invite you to join them in speaking with community members, collecting data, and cleaning up public spaces along the river. 

Enjoy a sunny afternoon volunteering in your neighborhood riverside pocket park – or get more hands-on with a long term project!
