watershed planning

BRWG has partnered with Trout Unlimited to create an Integrated Water Management Plan (IWMP) for the Blue River Watershed, that will provide a roadmap for future water use, restoration projects, and other solutions to the issues that currently threaten the health of the watershed. This project is our primary focus and once it is completed the IWMP will guide the strategic direction of BRWG for the next several years. You can read more about the IWMP here.

restoration

BRWG is currently working with Summit County Open Space and others to restore a section of the Swan River near Breckenridge that was heavily affected by dredge mining. The first phase of this project, Reach A, was finished in the fall 2019 and is now open to the public. Click here to read more about this ongoing project.

education

We can't protect the watershed alone, so community engagement is critical to achieving our mission. BRWG is available to present on the issues and challenges that affect our watershed and what steps our community can take to protect our watershed. If you have an event that you would like us to present at, get in touch at info@blueriverwatershed.org. 

You can view a complete list of all completed BRWG projects here.
