In the face of increasingly intense wildfires ravaging the Arkansas River Basin and Colorado, the Arkansas River Watershed Collaborative (ARWC) emerged as a beacon of hope and action. Our landscapes and communities are at a critical juncture, with fires escalating in frequency and severity, threatening our precious water resources. Now, more than ever, there's a pressing need for robust community and agency partnerships dedicated to mitigating these impacts and preserving the vitality of our watersheds.
ARWC is not just an organization; it's a movement powered by community-driven initiatives for forest health, watershed preservation, and post-fire recovery efforts. As the nonprofit arm of the Arkansas Basin Roundtable, we are at the forefront, uniting water managers, stakeholders, and you - our community - to craft solutions to water-related challenges.
Together, we can protect and rejuvenate the Arkansas River Watershed. Join us in this crucial mission.
Serving Colorado’s Arkansas River basin communities by addressing locally-identified watershed issues for economic, ecological, and societal benefit.
Taking Action for Wildfire Resilience and Recovery
At ARWC, we are committed to protecting Colorado's Arkansas River Basin from the ever-growing threats of wildfires. Our work focuses on both preventing catastrophic fires and supporting communities through post-fire recovery. While wildfires are inevitable, their impact doesn't have to be. ARWC is here to minimize those impacts and ensure that our communities are resilient in the face of wildfire challenges.
What We Do
Post-Fire Recovery: Wildfires leave lasting damage, but ARWC is there to restore resilience to our landscapes and communities. Our work begins the moment the flames are out—stabilizing soil, reducing erosion, and protecting water supplies. We are on the ground providing the expertise and support needed to recover and thrive.
Community Preparedness: We believe in action before the fire starts. By assisting landowners and communities with wildfire mitigation projects, ARWC helps reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. We promote healthy landscapes that safeguard our watersheds, providing resources and education to ensure that our neighbors are prepared.
Collaboration for Lasting Impact: Our work is grounded in partnerships. We bring together local communities, stakeholders, and landowners to build a stronger, more resilient watershed. ARWC is your neighbor, dedicated to protecting the land we all love.
