Our vision is for current and future generations of the Upper Arkansas River Valley to enjoy, appreciate, and cherish our waters, and to carry on the mission of protecting the quality watershed for present and future generations.

To realize this vision, we:

Work actively on conservation projects in the Upper Arkansas watershed, partnering with state and local agencies, other non profits, and engaged citizens to design and execute vital habitat conservation and protection.
Engage with youth in our community through a variety of educational initiatives, including providing ecological education programming at Salida and Buena Vista school field trips, and hosting kids' fishing derbies on July 4th and Labor Day.
Work with Project Healing Waters to share the joy of fly fishing with disabled veterans.
Provide adult education programs in fly fishing and fly tying.
Engaging with policy makers to ensure that the concerns of rivers are heard in decision-making

Mission

We bring together diverse interests to care for and recover rivers and streams so our children can experience the joy of wild and native trout and salmon.
