The Upper Colorado River Watershed Group is GROWING!
We are looking to add new talent and fresh perspectives to our Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors is actively involved in organizational governance, program development and implementation, overseeing our annual budget and meeting fundraising goals, and navigating UCRWG into the future. Board members are all volunteers who are passionate about preserving and restoring the health, beauty and sustainability of the Upper Colorado River for generations to come.
We are looking for a variety of skills to fill multiple Board vacancies, with a strong emphasis on looking for candidates with prior fundraising experience or an eagerness to jump into the world of nonprofit fundraising. We would also LOVE to connect with candidates with nonprofit management skills or a professional background in Colorado Water Law.

Who has the right to the water in Grand County?
And how does water in Grand County end up flowing over the Continental Divide?

UCRWG Board President Andy Miller exploring the watershed by canoe.
Here at UCRWG, we’re fighting to protect the health and sustainability of the Upper Colorado River watershed for the long-term. To us, that means keeping the water that is in the watershed flowing through our streams and rivers, NOT increasing how much water is sent over to the Front Range before it even hits our watershed. Why? Because we see proposed increases in transbasin water diversions as threatening the ecological stability of the watershed as a whole.
But what are transbasin diversions? What’s going on with water in Grand County? And how is UCRWG President Andy Miller connected to your last overnight trip to the Broome hut?
