The donation was from the proceeds of A Benefit for the Uncompahgre River at the Fly Fishing Film Tour at the Ouray County 4H Event Center in Ridgway. Nearly 200 audience members came to the event co-sponsored by RIGS and Telluride Angler. In addition to silent auction and drawing donations from both lead sponsors, other donations were received from Ouray Brewery, The Liquor Store, Yeti, and artist Emma Yardley. Plus, food was provided by Beyond the Board and several volunteers assisted in making the evening a great success!
The Four Corners Resource Management Apprenticeship Program (RMAP) is Mountain Studies Institute summer internship program that connects regional college students and recent graduates with resource managers to gain the knowledge and hands-on skills of what it means to work with or for a federal agency. Whether interns participate in natural, recreation, or cultural resource management, a key goal of the program is to prepare the next generation of agency personnel. There are a variety of apprenticeship positions across the Four Corners region with MSI and our partners. To learn more about the RMAP program and apply, visit our website HERE.
