1) Countywide collaborative: Nevada County staff held first countywide recreation collaborative meeting on April 22, 2022. It was attended by over 50 people.

4) Staff Convene, Champion, Catalyze (CCC) in Eastern Nevada County, a roundtable for a coordinated approach to peak period visitation in the Truckee Area with the purpose to find short-term tactical action steps to enhance quality of life for locals and visitor experiences during peak period visitation and reduce overall environmental impacts.
