The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded $791,000 in Clean Water Act grants to the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP) for 12 projects that will address nonpoint pollution sources, improving water quality in streams and rivers across the state.
Just a few of the projects include streambank stabilization & restoration on the Carson and Walker Rivers, various river cleanup events in the Truckee River watershed, and also supporting the Las Vegas Wash Green-Up events.

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?' " -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 1929-1968
Today, as we remember and celebrate the legacy of Dr. King, Jr., may we strive to be of service to others in our daily lives, with the same passion that Dr. King used to fight for equality and justice.
Happy MLK Day!

🌱Native Plant Feature Friday – Sagebrush 🌱
Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) is the Nevada State Flower. Also referred to as Big Sagebrush, Common Sagebrush, Blue Sagebrush, or Black Sagebrush… it covers over 165 million acres across 14 states!
Sagebrush serves as a nurse plant, creating conditions crucial for other important native plants, including grass, to grow. These plants feed a variety of wildlife as well as herds of rangeland animals, like cattle and sheep, which have long been the backbone of western communities.
The Greater Sage-Grouse is among those species that is completely dependent on sagebrush plants, in EVERY stage of its life cycle. Because of this huge dependence, the Sage-Grouse has become a symbol of the ecosystem as a whole. In 2008, the bird was officially petitioned to be listed under the Endangered Species Act as its population decreased.
Quick Facts:
✅ The foliage of Sagebrush is gray, and is edible.
✅ The fruit of Sagebrush is also edible.
✅ Mark Twain once said, Sagebrush country is a “forest in exquisite miniature."
✅ Nearly 100 bird species depend on sagebrush country for their habitat needs.
In 2012, the Nevada Sagebrush Ecosystem Council was created to recognize the critical importance of this expansive landscape to the citizens and natural resources of the Silver State, as well as to the 11 western states. Today, the Sagebrush Ecosystem Program, is an integrated, multi-agency effort with a shared goal of addressing the threats and challenges to this critical ecosystem faced today and the future.

Soil is a non-renewable resource and its preservation is essential for food security and our sustainable future.
As a core component of land resources, agricultural development and ecological sustainability, soil is the basis for food, animal feed, medicines, fuel and fiber production and for many critical ecosystem services.
Every year, on December 5th we recognize #WorldSoilDay (WSD) to focus attention on the importance of healthy soil and to advocate for the sustainable management of soil resources.
To learn more about WSD and the importance of soil conservation, visit http://ow.ly/sC8q50H4EVe or check out the link in bio.

Wildfires leave devastating damage to our landscapes, ecosystems, and communities. Every year, the state of California braces for fire season, not knowing the severity or danger of what lies ahead.
The Soil-Tech Reno team was recently contracted to perform aerial re-seeding and revegetation to restore what was burned in the Tamarack Fire, a fire that burned 66k acres in the Mokelumne Wilderness in Alpine County in July.
We are extremely humbled by work like this, working to restore the land. This is just another reason why we love what we do.

Ecological restoration is the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded or destroyed by human activity. Restoring nature and its habitats, one project at a time, gives our work a great deal of purpose and fulfillment.
