Let's Protect Our Rivers

The biggest gift the river has given me is the exact same gift our family can work hard to give back: time. When we’re on the river, “real life” time stops. This undisturbed time gifted by the river builds the core memories my family will never forget. And for that, we’ll protect our rivers for as long as we’re here. 

Protect Our Rivers is the boots-on-the-ground effort to care for the waters where we make our memories. Between cleanups across Colorado—and beyond—and education in stewardship and river health, Protect Our Rivers is the love in action for one of our favorite places to be ... the river.  

Since mid-2021, Protect Our Rivers and its volunteers removed more than 45,000 pounds of trash from rivers, streams, and nearby parks. The work is far from done, but through education and continued efforts, Protect Our Rivers is a tangible way we can give back to this amazing resource.
