Colorado TU Annual Awards Honor Contributions to Conservation

At the annual Fall Rendezvous in Glenwood Springs on November 2nd, Colorado TU presented its annual awards to a slate of chapters, partners, and volunteers whose contributions helped advance the cause of coldwater conservation over the past year and beyond.

Corral Creek – Another Step Toward Greenback Restoration

Colorado TU staff recently joined colleagues from the U.S. Forest Service for a site visit to the Corral Creek fish passage and temporary barrier project site, to inspect work completed this year. The project is a key piece of the larger Poudre Headwaters Project to establish a stronghold habitat for Greenback cutthroat trout.

A Fall Journey in Colorado's Trout in the Classroom Tanks

Fall is here and will soon be on its way out and our Trout in the Classroom tanks are growing and thriving. In 67 bubbling tanks around Colorado, our trout are now swimming their way through their life cycle. Since receiving eggs in mid October and raising the trout through the alevin stage, most of our classroom tanks are at or approaching the small fry stage.

Election day brought some good news on the two ballot measures on which Colorado TU took a position this year. Colorado voters supported Proposition JJ to bolster funding for water efforts – including watershed and river health projects – using revenues generated by the state’s burgeoning sports betting industry. And Denver voters rejected initiative 308, a ban on the sale of fur and fur products that was written so broadly as to jeopardize flies and fly tying materials along with many other traditional products far beyond just luxury fur apparel.
