Experiential Learning: Get Your Hands dirty!

The Lake Fork Valley Conservancy has ramped up its watershed education program. We partner with the Bureau of Land Management, Lake City Community School, Lake City's Hearts & Spades Community Garden, and River Watch Colorado to deepen understanding of the environment by trips into the field.
Our numerous public information and planning meetings have illuminated topics such as water quality, mine permitting, cadmium impacts on ptarmigan, river restoration, and trout habitat. Check out our Citizen's Guides, linked below right, for a clear overview of Colorado's role as a headwaters state. Visit our Publications & Resources page for in-depth research on mined lands, river habitats, and water quality.
