In an Aug. 30, 2017 photo, Lori Leonard of The Nature Conservancy walks along a recently restored section of the Truckee River east of Sparks, Nev. In December, Leonard put finishing touches on a native vegetation project she hoped would repopulate a barren stretch of the Truckee River. Abundant water since then soaked the soil around the river and gave the seeds a chance to take root. (Benjamin Spillman/The Reno Gazette-Journal via AP)
