Who We Are
A diverse group of citizens along with resource managers from
county, state and federal agencies came together in January
of 2002 to better understand the resources and impacts
within the watershed and to initiate a collaborative, community
effort to deal proactively with these issues. The group
recognized that historic impacts in the watershed along with
the expected future demands from increased growth and
recreational use required forward thinking through a
watershed approach to ensure good stewardship.
Our Vision:
It is our vision that the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River
drainage be a healthy watershed that is defined by a balance
of resource conservation, economic opportunity, recreational
activities and community values. The health of the watershed
will be sustained, protected and improved by a broad-based
partnership of an educated citizenry, nonprofit groups and
governmental entities.
Our Mission:
We are a stakeholder-based partnership providing for
stewardship of our natural, cultural, recreational, community
and economic resources through research, education and
outreach, and land restoration and conservation, to ensure
the health and maintain the character of the Lake Fork of the
Gunnison River watershed.
