The chance to learn about what goes into managing, conserving and protecting the Carson River watershed and its floodplains and natural resources will be offered in a free forum.

Following the bus tour is a two-day event from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Feb. 22-23 at the Bob Boldrick Theater inside the Carson City Community Center. Expert presenters will cover topics related to the management of the Carson River, including riparian restoration, water quality and quantity, storm water, flooding and floodplain management, invasive species, agriculture, recreation, and education/outreach programs.
