The U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit is putting on a field trip Aug. 2 for people to see the work that is being done the Upper Truckee River.

The project will replace the existing stream channel with a new one 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 5:30pm. Onnontioga Street is located off of Washoan Boulevard on Pioneer Trail.

Sturdy shoes are recommended.

No RSVP is required.

Staff will be on hand to answer questions and provide information about the project.

Project information may also be found on the LTBMU website.
