Friends of Browns Canyon is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting, conserving and enhancing the natural and cultural resources of the Browns Canyon area. Friends of Browns Canyon serves its members, the local community and national constituents by providing educational opportunities about the benefits of the diverse natural features and ecosystems of Browns Canyon.
Acting as the voice of the Browns Canyon area, including the National Monument, we inventory and study the ecological needs of the area and represent those needs to local community members, government agencies and conservation organizations. We believe the Browns Canyon area holds treasures and values for ages to come. We believe providing education about these treasures and values to be a key element in the preservation of Browns Canyon.
In the year since the national monument designation, Friends of Browns Canyon led a broad coalition of local and regional stakeholders in working with the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service to create a management plan that ensures adequate protection for the unique landscape and natural resources of Browns Canyon.
Friends of Browns Canyon works to preserve and support conservation of Browns Canyon National Monument and the surrounding areas. We work to provide and facilitate a unified voice for those concerned about protection and conservation of Browns Canyon and to provide educational opportunities for and to engage the public in conservation efforts. We are committed to working with federal and state agencies on management and development issues affecting the area and to actively seek those opportunities and means that will improve the abilities and effectiveness of the Friends of Browns Canyon.
