Introducing the brand new NRCareers.org: Your ultimate resource for career development in the environmental sector. You may have been familiar with the PDF "A How-To Guide for Pursuing a Career in Natural Resources." This website contains all the same great information from the original PDF, but now you can search the content directly and enjoy quicker updates without needing to download a lengthy guide! The newly redesigned website, developed by CAEE and the Colorado Youth Corps Association, include career possibilities, who hires, how to apply, and career prep.

In June 2024, the Colorado Healthy Headwaters Working Group (HHWG, co-chaired by Abby Burk of Audubon Rockies and Jackie Corday, Corday Consulting) with the support of Water For Colorado hosted a process-based stream restoration workshop in Carbondale, Colorado. They have gathered resources for workshop attendees and others who are involved in stream restoration in Colorado HERE.

PBS News science correspondent Miles O’Brien hosted a live discussion on July 24, 2024 called “Tipping Point: Colorado River Reckoning,” that looks at some of these challenges and answers your questions. Watch it HERE.
