| |  | | | ASK YOUR SENATOR TO SUPPORT SB23-270 FOR STREAM RESTORATION IN COLORADO | |  | Over the last 200 years, more than half of Colorado’s 105,000 stream miles and river corridors have been significantly degraded. That's why TU has been involved in restoration projects - from recovering front range streams damaged in the 2013 floods, to improving low-flow habitats in critical rivers like the Fraser, to reconnecting waters for trout at road crossings that currently fragment their habitat. Such projects are now facing an uncertain future due to questions and inconsistencies on if and when such efforts may require water rights. Fortunately, the Colorado legislature is currently considering SB23-270: Projects to Restore Natural Stream Systems, a bipartisan bill that clarifies where stream restoration could occur without water right enforcement actions. Without continued stream restoration, Colorado’s trout and their habitat will face an uncertain future. You can help by asking your Senator to support passage of SB23-270, enabling stream restoration projects to continue in Colorado and provide broad benefits to our environment and communities. The bill faces its first vote in Senate Ag Committee on Thursday, April 13th, and (hopefully) then proceeds on for a vote of the full Senate. | | | | | | | | | | Troutfest Colorado Colorado Trout Unlimited invites you to Troutfest Colorado 2023 Saturday, July 8th, at Coors Field in Denver.
