Save the Poudre: Poudre Waterkeeper

A nonprofit organization

The Cache la Poudre River is one of the most beautiful rivers in Colorado, and it is the only National Wild and Scenic River in Colorado. We are protecting it!

We are deeply engaged in four fights against new water development projects in the Poudre River basin:

1. NISP (Northern Integrated Supply Project): We are in court against the project right now and we expect to file another lawsuit soon. This project would further drain the Poudre River through Fort Collins.

2. Thornton Pipeline: We WON the court cases against this project, and we are now trying to negotiate with Thornton to encourage them to run their water down the Poudre River through Fort Collins.

3. Greeley's Seaman Reservoir/Terry Ranch Project: This project would also further drain the Poudre River. We are working to negotiate with Greeley to get a better coutcome.

4. Fort Collins' Halligan Reservoir Expansion Project: This project would also further drain the Poudre River. We are working to negotiate with Fort Collin to get a better coutcome. 

We need funds to communicate with our supporters and educate those who will listen. We are also hiring technical experts and the best river-loving lawyers to help us protect, and restore, the Poudre River. Help us get this message out there by donating today.

Thank you for your support!
