Advocates for Our Rivers

Welcome to the Eagle River Watershed Council website. We advocate for the health and conservation of the Upper Colorado and Eagle River basins through research, education and projects.

Our vision of protecting and enhancing the high quality natural, scenic and economic values that our rivers and tributaries provide is only made possible through broad support of our many partners, members and tireless volunteers.

We build stewardship in our community so our local lakes, streams and rivers remain a natural resource legacy for future generations to enjoy.

Please, take a moment look around the website and learn about our many restoration

projects,
education efforts and programs,
valuable water links,
and opportunities to volunteer your time
or make a donation to sustain our efforts.

Thank you for your support!

All the best,

Kathy Chandler-Henry Melissa Macdonald
President Executive Director
