The city of Reno has entered a one-year agreement with the Reno-based non profit Great Basin Institute to reopen and maintain the Rosewood Nature Study Area after the beautiful natural space was in limbo due to the Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation shutting down earlier this year amid investigations of financial mismanagement.
GBI will be using the location as its regional hub while handling maintenance and upkeep, including preserving wetlands and trails, so that public access can resume.
Popular outdoor summer camps, education programs and field trips will also be back on the calendar.
Proposals for a long-term partnership to keep Rosewood operational are expected to be reviewed in early 2026.
