According to Peter Scales and the American Camp Association, "Camp is one of the few institutions where young people can experience and satisfy their need for physical activity, creative expression and true participation in a community environment. Most schools don't satisfy all these needs." There is a projected 14% increase in STEM-related jobs, but only 16% of high school students are proficient in STEM subjects. With our STEAM, standards-based curriculum at the Student Stewards Fall Break Camp, students will be better prepared for high school and beyond!

Biodiversity of the Truckee Meadows Click here for ANIMALS Click here for PLANTS & FUNGI What Is Biodiversity and Why Is It Important? Biodiversity is the occurrence of many different types of plants and animals in an environment. ​ Environments that have greater biodiversity are more stable and healthy. Since they have many different types of species, checks and balances are kept and diseases aren't as likely to wipe out a whole ecosystem. Having biodiversity means having a healthy environment that will both be around for years to come and adapt to environmental changes. How to Be a Buddy to Biodiversity Leave Wildlife Alone Bring binoculars to scout wildlife from a distance to both decrease stress on the animals as well as keep yourself safe from injury or disease! Don't Feed Wildlife Wildlife is exactly that: wild . Feeding animals can cause damages like malnutrition and the disruption of ecosystems to increased disease transmission and human-wildlife conflict. Stay On Paths Plants don't like getting stepped on! Some species can take decades to grow all for one foot to ruin it all. Staying on designated paths and trails allows the plants and fungi around us to thrive! Keep Pups Leashed Keep your dogs on a leash at all times (unless in a specified dog park area). Dogs off leash can approach wildlife that might carry diseases that can infect your canine companion. Toss Your Dog's Poo In addition to the unpleasant experience it creates for park-goers, dog waste poses a significant risk to environmental and human health! Always make sure to bag and then throw away your dog's poo. Want to Explore More?

Rosewood Bridge Repair Project Goal : To repair the emergency acc ess bridge at Rosewood Nature Study Area Project Description: Lauren Jilot’s Eagle Project focuses on restoring a bridge at the Rosewood Nature Study Area. The bridge was built originally in 1990 and is 10 feet wide by 99 feet long. It’s the only way a full size vehicle, including an emergency vehicle, could access the Nature Study’s trails. The bridge cannot withstand the weight of a vehicle in its current state and is blocked off. If there were to be a medical emergency on the property, first responders wouldn’t be able to bring vehicles onto the property. The bridge also allows space for overflow parking and extra storage. To restore the bridge, she must purchase and install new decking, metal strap ties, bolts, and screws. She must hire a construction company to re-deck the bridge so that it's done correctly and professionally to ensure long term safety and stability. ​ This project was completed October 2023 but your support helps maintain the bridge and support Lauren's work! ​ ​ ​ ​ Donate 1/6 Thank you to all the community members supporting this project. Donate today to help repair the Rosewood Nature Study Area Access Bridge!

Click to Become a Doggie Ambassador What's Your Style? Protect the Truckee River Watershed by Picking up Dog Waste We all have our own style of doing things and this includes how we pick up after our dogs Whether you have the perfect jump shot every time you go for the trash can, pick it up with world record speed, or know the ultimate one handed life hack, when you pick up after your dog you're helping protect the Truckee River Every time it rains or snow melts, dog waste is washed into drains and storm sewers. The waste, full of unhealthy bacteria, flows with the stormwater directly into ponds, lakes, and rivers. In high enough quantities, the bacteria and parasites found in dog waste cause bodies of water to become unsafe for recreation activities like swimming and fishing. 1/4 Find a Station Near You Questions?
