Thanks for participating in the Watershed Moments initiative as part of the 'I Am Carson River Watershed' campaign. Your Actions Matter!

The Carson River is listed as impaired under Nevada Department of Environmental Protection's Water Quality Integrated Report. By engaging in any or all of the actions below, you are helping restore the health of the Carson River Watershed. Thank you for doing your part part.

After watching the iamcarsonriver.org videos highlighting our wonderful watershed - and ways to protect it! - select any of the everyday actions you will take to keep our watershed and our waters healthy:

I will pick up my pet's waste in my backyard, neighborhood or on the trail and dispose of it properly.

I will keep oils, salts, grime, and chemicals out of our storm drains and rivers by using a car wash.

I will capture stormwater on my property and let it soak into the ground instead of sending it down storm drains by creating rain gardens, redirecting my downspouts to landscaping, and reducing hard surfaces on my property.

I will reduce my chemical use by reading labels properly, using only what's needed, and finding alternative, natural pest-reduction methods.

I will promote pollinator habitat by adding pollinator-friendly native plants and ornamentals, creating solitary bee hotels, and reducing my pesticide use in my garden and beyond!

I will practice the 5 principles of healthy soil by: 1) minimizing ground disturbance; 2) reducing bare soil; 3) building diversity of plants, animals, and insects; 4) keeping living roots in the soil; and 5) integrating animals such as worms, insects, and livestock where appropriate.

When recreating--camping, hiking, biking, fourwheeling, etc.--I will dispose of any trash, human or pet waste, or chemicals by putting them in the appropriate containers-- trash cans, recycling cans, or a sewer dump facility. If there are no containers, I will pack my trash, waste, and chemicals out until I reach one.

I will take my used motor oil to my local auto parts store, garage, or recycling center to prevent contamination of water and soil!

I will visit 3 new parks, trails or open space areas in the Watershed I’ve never been to before!

I will dispose of my trash properly because I know a cleaner environment means a healthier watershed--and it looks nicer!

I will practice the "Play-Clean-Go" principles: 1) REMOVE plants, animals and mud from my boots, gear, pets, and vehicles; 2) CLEAN my gear before entering and leaving a recreation site; 3) STAY on designated roads and trails; 4) USE CERTIFIED or local firewood and hay; and 5) CLEAN, DRAIN, and DRY my boat to prevent spreading aquatic invasives.

I will be a steward and engage in my watershed. I will find fun and meaningful ways to volunteer and foster a healthy Carson River Watershed.
