The purpose of this coalition is to conserve fish and wildlife habitat, as well as sustain sporting opportunities, on Bureau of Land Management and National Forest Service lands in the Dolores River watershed. The Dolores River offers world-class hunting and fishing opportunities but faces threats from industrial-scale mining, habitat fragmentation, climate change, and unmanaged recreation. | | | | | | | | Colorado Collective Giveaway We are thrilled to announce a fantastic giveaway featuring some of the best fly fishing brands that Colorado has to offer.
