Mark Kimbrough chosen as 2016 Andy Aldax Award recipient
The Carson Water Subconservancy District has selected Mark Kimbrough to receive the 2016 Andy Aldax Carson River Watershed Award for Exemplary Service in Conservation and Protection of the Carson River Watershed. The award, created in 2007, recognizes individuals or organizations that actively demonstrate a 10-plus year commitment and accomplish plans and projects to improve and sustain the Carson River Watershed.
Mark Kimbrough has served in the following capacities in his career: Washoe County Park Ranger, Nevada State Park Ranger, Executive Director of the Tahoe Rim Trail Association, and owner of Washoe Zephyr Consulting. Mark has focused on creating sustainable open spaces and trail systems throughout the Eastern Sierra Front and Carson City County. He has been closely involved in building the 150-mile Tahoe Rim Trail since 1984.
His most recent successful project was a redesign and expansion of the Kings Canyon Waterfall trail. This had become nightmare of 'social trails' that lead to erosion into the Kings Canyon Creek which ultimately feeds into the Carson River. Mark redesigned the trail to avoid erosion, improve sustainability, and create a pleasing hiking experience. He then designed a new trail to offer a more extensive educational and hiking experience of the creek and waterfall.
The award will be presented to Mark Kimbrough at the CWSD Board meeting on Wednesday, February 17, 2016, at 6:30 p.m. in Room #3137 of the Nevada State Legislative Building, 401 S. Carson St., Carson City. All are welcome and encouraged to attend the meeting and presentation. Contact Toni Leffler (887-7450) for more information.
