Help me protect local rivers!

You might know this already, but I'm on the Watershed Council's board. When people ask me what this organization does, I tell them that we educate the community about how we can care for our local waterways.

Rivers are important to me because the Eagle River Valley is important to me and life here isn't possible without these waterways. Not only does our $1.4 trillion recreational economy require water, but we're in a headwaters region, and local waterways are a source of water for more than 40 million users downstream. 

Being on the board is important to me because it gives me the opportunity to participate in the governance of this organization. I'm proud that this year, the Watershed Council doubled the capacity for and participation of community members in the annual Community Float, which removes barriers of access to experiencing the Colorado River by raft for an afternoon.

This organization is a responsible steward of funds and ensures that our mission to protect local waterways guides all that we do. We have many volunteer opportunities and I'd be happy to connect you with the organization staff if you'd like to learn how you can get involved to make a difference to rivers. 

It would mean a lot to me if you'd join me in supporting the Watershed Council. Will you make a donation right now?
