Wander Your Watershed
Wandering with Good Intent

This Saturday, May 8, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Markleeville Enhancement Club is hosting its spring event. Volunteers will pick up litter along the stretches of Highway 89 between Turtle Rock Park and the cutoff to Monitor Pass that are adopted by California Alps Cycling and Alpine Watershed Group. There are also opportunities to do good work in town and at the two creekside parks. Enjoy the lovely spring day by helping to steward your watershed! Meet at the corner of Highway 89 and Montgomery Street in Markleeville.

Watershed Thanks
