The Carson River Coalition hosts quarterly and semi-annual meetings for four working groups that steward the watershed: Education & Outreach, Floodplain Management, Invasive Species Management, and Agricultural Production. The CRC also holds annual forums where stakeholders and governments can interact and discuss upcoming projects and plans. See below for Forum presentations and working group meeting agendas and notes. Thank you to all who attended the 2024 CRC Forum March 5 & 6. We look forward to seeing you on this spring’s bus tour and next year’s Forum. Please contact us if you need slides for any presentation; because of file size some were converted to PDF.
