The WEco Water Fluency Program is a professional development course designed for anyone interested in gaining an in-depth understanding of Colorado water management and protection. This includes non-water professionals in leadership roles intersecting with water, as well as water professionals who are newer to the field or the state of Colorado or who want to gain a broader view of the issues beyond their unique niche. Past participants have included elected officials, city/county staff, community and business leaders, special districts staff, board members for water organizations, educators, and more.

Colorado Sierra Club has endorsed the CATs (Cats aren’t Trophies ) ballot initiative to ban the trophy hunting and trapping of wild cats. But we must secure 124,238 in-person, verified signatures and to do this, we rely on volunteers who are willing to help collect signatures. The CATs initiative is founded in ethics and science which unequivocally documents that there is no proven need to trophy hunt or trap wild cats, and zero science to support it. Coloradans have tried many times over to reason with policymakers but to no avail. A ballot measure that honors science and respects the opinion of the vast majority of Coloradans who oppose trophy hunting and fur trapping is our only option to conserving these vital native carnivores.
