Watershed Health & Resiliency
ARWC leads initiatives to restore important ecosystems, mitigate wildfire risks, and to ensure the resilience of our landscapes and communities. Examples of this work include our Monarch Pass mitigation project, stream restoration in Lake County, mine land reclamation in Lake County, our community slash sites, and the Lake County Chipping Program.

Collaboration & Partnerships
ARWC believes that the only way to accomplish the work necessary to build a healthy and resilient Arkansas River Watershed Basin is through collaboration. We are a nonpartisan organization that works across jurisdictional and political boundaries to accomplish big goals. Examples of this work include the formation of the Upper Arkansas Watershed Partnership and the Colorado Southern Region Mitigation Stakeholders (CSRMS).
Wildfire Response & Resources
ARWC works with state and federal agencies, local organizations, and the community to ensure swift and effective response when our landscapes experience fire. Examples of this work include our Spring Creek and Hayden Pass fire recovery efforts.
