This year we have been able to educate over 2500 people about the critical role our rivers play in Colorado. Through tours, field trips, and educational programs, we’ve inspired action to conserve and protect these vital waterways. This Giving Tuesday, your donation helps us expand our efforts to raise awareness and protect Colorado’s water supply. Together, we can secure a sustainable future for our rivers and communities.

There is still time to sign up for the Fraser River cleanup this Saturday! Register or check out the other volunteer projects at bit.ly/NPLD_2024

Like to get wet?
If you want to participate in NPLD this year but you need a convenient, close-by project, there is a Fraser River cleanup meeting at the Pavilion at Lion’s Club Ponds in Fraser at 9:00 on Saturday, 28th. The cleanup will cover the area around the Fraser River Trail from Rendezvous to CR 8. Trash bags and gloves will be provided. Bring waders or tall rubber boots if you want to get into the river to collect trash. This is a fun, family-friendly project with jobs ranging in difficulty from easy to medium.
If you use the Fraser River Trail often, you will feel different about it after working to maintain and clean it for a few hours.
