This meeting is part of the West Fork Carson River Vision Project process led by the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board. After a brief refresher on the project by Cindy Wise, we will have presentations by:

Brian Hansen, Recreation Officer, Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, Carson Ranger District

Shelly Blair, Environmental Scientist, California Department of Fish and Wildlife

Please join us to hear about and discuss where we are headed with recreation-related issues in the West Fork Carson River watershed, especially in terms of COVID-19-related recreation trends, and how any problems might be addressed on our public lands.

Help spread the word by sharing the flyer and the Facebook Event. Thank you!
