Signups underway for Carson Water Subconservancy District 'Get on the Bus' watershed tour
Carson Water Subconservancy District will host its two-day “Get on the Bus!” tour of the Carson River Watershed June 11-12 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Expert guides will cover topics ranging from water rights, river-restoration projects, and water quality and quantity to floodplain management, regenerative agriculture, and more.
The 55-passenger luxury bus will depart from the CWSD office each morning.
“The ‘Get on the Bus!’ tour of the Carson River Watershed is a great way to get to know our watershed from top to bottom in two days,” said Brenda Hunt, CWSD Watershed Program Manager. “This survey course highlights the amazing partnerships and work being accomplished to enhance our water resources and the health of the watershed.”
Stops include Hope Valley meadow restorations in Alpine County, Calif. Carson Valley’s Comstock Farm and Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park; Ft. Churchill State Park; and Lahontan Reservoir. Videos and onboard presentations will keep travelers informed between stops.
The cost is $175. The tour provides lunch as well as the chance for engineers, planners, water operators and floodplain managers to earn continuing education credits.
“The Carson River is a lifeline connecting our communities,” said Hunt. “Please join us on this two-day educational adventure.”
