Event Date:
October 25, 2013 - 5:00pm
Everyone is invited to check out progress on the Upper Truckee River Restoration Project in a U.S. Forest Service field trip on Friday, October 25, 2013 at 5 p.m.
The project will replace the existing stream channel with a new channel that is more stable and is connected to the adjacent floodplain, which will provide a better aquatic habitat, support a healthier meadow ecosystem, and reduce the amount of fine sediment that reaches Lake Tahoe.
Meet on Onnontioga Street, just south of the Omaha Street intersection at 5 p.m. Onnontioga Street is located off of Washoan Boulevard on Pioneer Trail. Sturdy shoes are recommended and no RSVP is required.
Staff will be on hand to answer questions and provide information about the project. Project information can also be found on the LTBMU website at http://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/ltbmu/UpperTruckeeRestoration.
