The Carson Valley Conservation District (CVCD) provides the following services to residents of Douglas County: 

• Carson River stream bank stabilization and restoration projects
  Streambank Rehabilitation efforts in our stretch of the Carson River are just now being restarted and made a higher priority than the paperwork or conceptual projects that have consumed so much time and money.
• Clearing, snagging, and channel maintenance
  Along the Carson River there are multiple areas that require stream bank stabilization and/or restoration, Clear Creek is being worked from NDOT but many more sites exist. Where feasible, the district will perform channel clearing, snagging, and maintenance to help protect the past and future engineered structures, production ground and infrastructure.
