Message from the Executive Director

October 2008-The Colorado Watershed Assembly is a coalition of citizen groups organized across watershed boundaries rather than political ones. Last year at this time our Colorado coalition consisted of 60 different watershed groups; today that number has grown to 71 and we hope it will continue to grow. The Assembly not only applauds the work of these citizen groups, but strives to empower and support these grassroots organizations as they work to bring a wide spectrum of stakeholder interests to the table and implement on-the-ground projects. The Assembly is dedicated to increasing awareness of resources and opportunities available grassroots organizations and to advancing local organizational growth, sustainability, and pride. Read More

The document is both a roadmap for the way forward and an example of real world techniques that might be applied by other watersheds throughout the arid mountain west. Download the Report (PDF)
