McCarran Ranch Preserve

McCarran Ranch Preserve, located near Reno, NV, is a pioneering restoration project on the lower Truckee River. Through their restoration program, they aim to recreate a functioning ecosystem by rebuilding the river's channel, reconnecting it to its floodplain, and restoring native plant communities. The success of their restoration methods has not only attracted birds and fish but has also been implemented at other sites along the lower river.

With a focus on education and outreach, McCarran Ranch Preserve works to reconnect the community with the river and raise awareness about the importance of conservation. They offer educational programs for local students, introducing them to wetlands, riparian habitats, and restoration. Volunteers play a crucial role in their ongoing work, and the preserve is open to the public for activities such as fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing.
