While several smaller nonprofits in Grand County conduct restoration efforts on limited stretches throughout the Upper Colorado River basin, UCWET is the first collaborative, local effort to organize the diversity of stakeholder groups in one of the most critical headwaters in North America. Our goal is to provide the information, education, logistics, and financial and technical support that stakeholders need to manage local water resources in an environmentally sustainable way.
UCWET seeks to fill a critical gap by unifying local initiatives that have thus far only focused on smaller geographic segments within the watershed.
