about the blue river watershed group

 The mission of the
Blue River Watershed Group
 is to promote, protect and restore a healthy Blue River watershed through cooperative community education, stewardship, and resource management. 

about the blue river watershed group

The Blue River Watershed Group (BRWG) was founded in 2004 by a group of local community members who were passionate about protecting and preserving the health of the Blue River Basin. Our mission is to promote, protect, and restore a healthy Blue River watershed through cooperative community education, stewardship, and resource management. We focus on the entire watershed, which drains an area of about 680 square miles covering all of Summit County and portions of Grand and Lake Counties.
Over the years, we have worked on several important stream restoration projects such as the Tenmile Creek stream restoration project that was completed in 2016 and enhanced floodplain connectivity, fish habitat quality, scenery, and wetlands function, and improved recreational opportunities and public access to the section of Tenmile Creek between the Conoco gas station and Copper Mountain. We have also worked on watershed planning projects, including the Snake River Watershed Plan, and work on educating the community on the issues impacting our watershed. Currently, BRWG is developing an Integrated Water Management Plan that will help identify future projects that will improve the health of the watershed.
