Accomplishments:
The Walker Basin Conservancy (WBC) was established in 2014 to implement and manage long-term land stewardship activities and other actions associated with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s (NFWF) Walker Basin Restoration Program. In its first year, WBC has ramped up its full time staff to eleven members and growing (meet our staff), initiated a successful on-the-ground stewardship and restoration program with the establishment of the Yerington Conservation Crew (YCC), and opened nearly 11 miles of the East Walker River of a previously privately-owned ranch property for public enjoyment and outdoor recreation.
