The 19th annual Truckee River Day is Oct. 19.

Volunteers have a choice of half or full day restoration projects with different levels of difficulty. There will be 12-15 projects, including restoration in Martis Valley near Elizabethtown Meadows, seeding and mulching at Prosser Lake, removing milfoil from the Truckee River, and revegetating a recently burned area near Boca Townsite. Projects start at 9 or 11am and finish between 2-3pm.

The River Fair will be from 1-4pm at Granite Flat Campground. The fair features environmental activities for kids and adults and the annual fish release at 3pm. Food will be provided by Northstar. Everyone is invited to the fair even if you’re not involved in restoration projects.

To participate in this year’s restoration projects, go online. The deadline for registration is Oct. 10.
