PROTECTION

Your water, your water’s quality and broader watershed health all depend heavily on efforts to caretake and protect it. With a swiftly growing population in Colorado, climate change and its effects on seasonal temperatures, the increase in severe and sustained wildfire events, and knock-on effects impacting wildlife populations and natural ecosystems in our state, there’s real work to be done. We’re proud to be able to say that while we may be small, our people and programs do big, tangible work in the landscapes we all love and rely on.

If you’re interested in pitching in, too, in whatever way makes sense for you, give us a shout. We’d be happy to have you onboard!
