J&K Llamas Landscape & Nursery has been a proud business partner since the inception of Churchill County High School’s Work-Based Learning program—one of the first to step up and help cultivate real-world skills in local students. 

For the past three years, senior Carter McBee has interned with Llamas Landscape, gaining hands-on experience that’s helped prepare him for college and beyond. Now in his final year at CCHS, Carter represents the kind of student success made possible through strong local partnerships. 

Llamas Landscape has been a staple in Churchill County for 40 years. As the business prepares for retirement, its legacy lives on in the students it’s supported and the roots it’s planted—both in the ground and in the community. 

It’s businesses like J&K Llamas that make Churchill County not just a place to live, but a place to grow.

Comment author: Patti Cole Comment text: Marie will be forever treasured in memories. The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it. Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all. An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile. For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.

Her dad Ted was my dad's brother. I never knew Ted or Betty, but I wish I did. I am 73 and live in IL. I am building my family tree and see where Betty has fit in. Blessings to you Curt and family.
