River-Friendly Gardening Tips for Northern Nevada Homes
|
Have you had a chance to visit Lake Park’s River-Friendly Living Demonstration Garden? Installed last spring, the garden is full of native plants and landscaping features perfectly suited for our high desert environment. As the City of Reno continues to add more native plants, it’s becoming an even better model for what we can all plant in our own yards.
To honor the garden’s first year of growth, we checked in with landscaping expert Carrie Jensen for suggestions on what we can learn from the River-Friendly Living garden and add to our personal yards. Click the link below for her spring gardening advice!

Back to Work & Improving Our Riverbank, with Anthony Reid
|
Anthony Reid is working along the Truckee River with our Truckee River Urban Tree Workforce Program. He’s removing invasive species, protecting trees from beaver damage, and learning riparian habitat and vegetation management skills - which are transferable to forestry and landscaping professions. For Reid, participating in the program is a key piece in his recovery from Substance Use Disorder and an important way he’s working to better his life.
Keep reading to learn more about Anthony – how he got here, what he’s learned along the way, and how the Truckee River Urban Tree Workforce Development Program is helping him plan and prepare for his future!
