Sampling Outstanding Waters
Our work takes us to beautiful places! Fall means that our staff get to sneak outside for stewardship projects and to collect data demonstrating that special protections are warranted for some of our favorite ecosystems. Protecting our streams requires that we collect data to demonstrate that these streams meet Colorado’s highest designation for water quality protections. Here are a few photos of our Water Program Director, Julie Nania, as she collected water samples to support the outstanding waters proposals that we are developing with our partners. We’re working together with American Rivers, American Whitewater, Trout Unlimited, the Mountain Studies Institute and Pew to protect these important streams.
