Water Education Colorado

Forest fires have been growing in intensity, frequency and cost across Colorado and the West. What do those fires mean for our watersheds, water supplies, and the millions of water users across the state? And how do we fund the fire treatment work that will maintain healthy forests and reduce the risk to our watersheds? Join us for a webinar on June 26 from noon to 1:00 p.m. to answer these questions and more. We'll discuss the funding challenges posed by increased fire incidence, as well as the partnerships and creative funding strategies that could help Colorado build healthier forests and watersheds, and more water-secure communities.

In 2016, it became legal to collect water from your gutters to water your lawn, garden and flowers on your own property. Since then, rain barrels have been all the rage and Colorado residents are all getting excited about this new way to garden and save on their water bill at the same time! Water Education Colorado is partnering with Ute Water Conservancy District and the River Network to host a Rain Barrel Workshop on June 22nd from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Cross Orchards in Grand Junction. Participants will actually build their own rain barrel and get to take it home with them! For more information, click here.
