Upper Colorado River Watershed Group
Established in 2016, the Upper Colorado River Watershed Group (UCRWG) promotes awareness, conservation, and appreciation of the lands and streams that compose the headwaters of the Colorado River through science, education, and outreach.
Serving the local community in Grand County, Colorado and striving to connect with water users in the Front Range metro area, UCRWG is a nonpolitical, nonregulatory organization that seeks to protect water quality and preserve ecosystem functioning by establishing a regional watershed management plan based on rigorous scientific data and community participation. Our programs include stream corridor and forest health restoration projects; guided educational hikes and citizen science initiatives; and community outreach and education.
UCRWG actively works to provide a neutral forum for the diverse stakeholder groups of the Colorado River to identify shared values and goals while preserving the health and beauty of the watershed we all love.
Join us on our journey to protect and restore the headwaters of the Colorado River. As a small nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity and dedication of our local community to keep us moving forward.
