WEPD partnered with the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) on their National Tribal Infrastructure Coordination Conference (NTICC) in Reno last week. WEPD hosted two field trips, our Mayala Wata Restoration Project, and planting pinyon pine at the Tribe's Welmelti Preserve! Great turn out for both events, and we want to thank everyone who made this possible. The Washoe Tribe was highlighted throughout the conference all week long!
