One of our partner organizations, the Carson River Sub Conservancy, has prepared the attached short video with exciting information about the Carson River Hydrologic Basin and they were so kind as to even mention our organization as part of their presentation. Please enjoy it!

Thank you for your positive response to our post about social distancing. Here is another important message from our Sheriff, Dan Coverly. Please use common sense and be safe.
###
We are asking people to be mindful and please be advised to practice caution when participating in outdoor activities.
“We understand that a lot of people are participating in outdoor recreation in response to this isolation period, and we encourage it, but ask you to do it safely,” Sheriff Coverley said. “Many of our resources are being dedicated to the COVID-19 response and keeping people and businesses safe, now is not the time to travel off into a potentially unsafe area.”
We would like to advise the public please do not participate in high-risk situations that might lead one off the beaten path as our resources are being used to maximum level.
Some tips for safe outdoor recreation are:
· Stay on marked trails
· Participate in activities with another person (6 feet apart) so you aren’t alone in an emergency
· Know your limits and plan your outdoor activity level accordingly
· Carry a basic first-aid kit with you
· Use protective gear
· Be alert for slippery areas
· Don’t mix alcohol and outdoor rec
DCSO remains unwavering in our commitment to serve and protect the County. We thank the public for their understanding during these uncertain and fast-changing times.

Dear Friends and Trail Users:
CVTA wishes you all good health and safe walking hiking, biking and horseback riding in our magnificent outdoors. We have noticed an increased use of our trails and wanted to remind you of the guidelines for reducing the risk of spreading the coronavirus. Please observe social distance at all times. At a minimum, six feet (6 FT.) separation is recommended by the Center for Disease Control. Thank you.
