Pitchfork Ranch at Walker River State Recreation Area is looking sharp thanks to our incredible volunteers! 💪

In celebration of America 250, Walker Basin Conservancy and other volunteers, joined us this weekend to plant trees and spruce up the pollinator garden.

Visitors will notice new trees throughout the campground and freshly cleaned trails behind the visitor center.

Thank you to everyone who gave their time to care for these special places.

Missed out? You still have a chance to get involved. Join us today at Cathedral Gorge State Park for some Arbor Day tree planting or help make Sand Harbor shine this Wednesday.
