Along with local water experts, CFWE delivered a fact-packed and educational 2.5-day journey across Southwestern Colorado. On the 2010 tour of the Dolores and San Juan river basins, a fun group of 90 legislators, water professionals and educators learned about watershed restoration and planning in this unique part of our state.
