Blue River Watershed Group: Calendar of Events 2024
Friday November 15- DECEMBER 31
Members Drive Begins
|
Member support makes our work possible: Each person who participates in our membership program makes up the backbone of the Blue River Watershed Group Membership dues directly support our work in habitat research and river restoration. In addition, members gain invitation to members only events, priority registration to limited public events, public recognition, and more.
Starting November 15th when you join or renew your membership through the December 31st you will receive a custom 6 inch die-cut sticker with artwork depicting our native Cutthroat Trout from renowned wildlife artist Joseph Tomelleri and a limited addition trout themed BRWG sticker to show your support for BRWG and our native trout! |
|
Your membership with the Blue River Watershed Group provides sustaining support for our lakes, rivers, and streams. Our work is dependent on grants, corporate partnerships, and most importantly support from community members like you. Joining the Blue River Watershed allows you to be a part of our critical work to restore the Blue River and engage with other community members in support of our local resources.

Join us in supporting BRWG this GivingTuesday, December 3d and help ensure a thriving Blue River watershed by making a donation and spreading the word.
GivingTuesday is a global movement that inspires generosity around the world. Started in 2012, GivingTuesday has grown into a powerful, year-round movement of generosity, bringing together millions to support good causes. Here's the best part: When you give today to BRWG's Colorado Gives Fundraiser on GivingTuesday you get to be a part of GivingTuesday, and your donation will also count toward Colorado Gives Day. |

From November 1 through December 10, every donation you make to BRWG's Colorado Gives Fundraiser, will be boosted with a $1M+ Incentive Fund, made possible by Colorado Gives Foundation and FirstBank. Each nonprofit will receive a share of the fund based on their percentage of the total raised.
