Here Comes the 2011 Wings & Willows Festival!

Celebrate Carson Valley & Eastern Sierra Wildlife Diversity at the 2011 Wings & Willows Festival on July 16th

Thousands of plant and animal species call the Carson Valley and eastern Sierra Nevada home. Join professionals, hobbyists and rubber-neckers (or sightseers) in learning more about the plants and animals at home in these unique ecosystems which soar from the Carson River and Carson Valley to the peaks of the Sierra Nevada Carson Range. Attend the Wings & Willows Festival on July 16th, 2011 at the Nature Conservancy's River Fork Ranch in beautiful Genoa, Nevada.

Up to twenty tours will explore birds, butterflies, wildflowers, wetlands, and mountain meadows, and a host of free educational presentations and workshops on topics such as birding, botany, pollinators and the Carson River will be offered. Family activities and crafts, various exhibitors and vendors, live entertainment, and much more will round out the day with something for every member of the family from GrandDad to Junior!

The Wings & Willows Festival will begin with the first tours at 8:00 am and conclude with the Sunset Serenity Tour and a live band at 8:00 pm. The workshops and presentations will be offered throughout the day, as will the craft activities and other interesting things to do and see, such as live animals and raptor displays.
