The Roaring Fork Outdoor Coalition is a collaboration among local, state, and federal land managers that has established shared priorities for natural resource conservation and outdoor recreation across the Roaring Fork Watershed.
Roaring Fork Outdoor Coalition learns from and elevates community-level perspectives, values, and priorities to inform planning and projects watershed-wide. By aligning efforts across agencies and communities, the Coalition supports proactive planning to turn ideas into action for sustainable recreation and the long-term management of public lands and waters that are central to our region’s quality of life.
Guideposts
Through facilitated conversations with more than 55 collaborators from conservation and recreation organizations and engagement with 1,212 residents and visitors, the Roaring Fork Outdoor Coalition identified five priority guideposts for our work of the Roaring Fork Outdoor Coalition:
Advancing a regional public lands and water campaign focused on increasing awareness of the growing pressures on federal lands. The campaign highlights responsible recreation practices and encourages community members to stand up for the protection of public lands and water resources.
On-the-ground trail and habitat maintenance projects led by community organizations and powered by volunteers. These efforts deliver tangible, near-term improvements to the shared public lands and waters that define the Roaring Fork Watershed.
our voice matters. The Coalition seeks input from community members, land managers, and local organizations to guide projects, prioritize conservation efforts, and improve recreation opportunities.
The Roaring Fork Outdoor Coalition works collaboratively to promote shared goals within the region, balancing conservation and recreation. The Coalition is not a governing body and does not create new regulations, but helps coordinate strategies and shared priorities.
