Local agencies, residents, and watershed partners from across western Nevada — including Churchill County stakeholders — are invited to take part in the 2026 Carson River Watershed Forum on April 1–2 at the Nevada Legislative Building in Carson City.
The Carson River Coalition and the Carson Water Subconservancy District (CWSD) will host the two‑day event, which features updates on watershed programs, new research, drought communication, groundwater monitoring, outdoor youth initiatives, and the growing role of data centers in Nevada. Doors open at 8:30 a.m. each day, and registration is $50 for both days and $30 for one. Lunch is included.
“Thoughtfully managing the Carson River helps provide clean drinking water, economic stability, and sustainable natural landscapes,” CWSD Program Manager Brenda Hunt said. “The Forum brings partners together and is an opportunity to learn about extraordinary efforts throughout the watershed.”
The Carson River Watershed stretches from Alpine County through Carson City and into Churchill County, where the river supports agriculture, wildlife habitat, and recreation.
Professional development hours may be available for engineers, floodplain managers, and planners. Registration is available at forms.gle/Fdo3ZYVD8nFVK949A. For general inquiries, contact Kelly Nicholas at [email protected].
