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.

Our programs include stream corridor and forest health restoration projects, guided educational hikes and citizen science initiatives, aerial monitoring of conditions through drone photography, and community outreach and education.
UCRWG is working hard to #SupportTheSource through the adoption of an Impact Fee - by adding just a few cents each month to water bills, we can generate critical funding for much-needed restoration projects in the Upper Colorado River Watershed, reflecting the true cost of water diversions on the environment. Here at UCRWG, we believe that when it comes to water in the Upper Colorado River, #EveryDropCounts.

Join us on our journey and DONATE TODAY.
