The Estes Valley Watershed Coalition is a broad-based environmental organization which supports the health of the area forests and waterways and the wildlife that depend on them.

— Frank Theis, EVWC Board Member & Founder

Our Goals

The water that originates here in the Estes Valley supplies more than one million downstream urban and rural users along the Front Range. Our efforts to preserve and protect this vital flow can be divided into five primary goals:

Watershed Health

Maintain a healthy water supply through forest management, stream management plans, and riparian restoration projects.

Outreach

Expand outreach and education efforts to raise awareness about wildlife and natural resource issues.

Forest Health

Facilitate forest management projects for high-priority areas.

Capacity-Building

Establish diverse funding sources to improve our capacity to respond to the needs of the community.

Planning

Create and implement a wildfire-ready watershed action plan (WRAP).
