💧 Hydrology training, round two!

The Colorado West Land Trust (CWLT) crew members who joined us a little later — got their turn in the field learning the ins and outs of hydrology!

The crew practiced stream cross sections and streamflow measurements, building the hands-on skills they’ll use to better understand and care for Colorado’s waterways. 🌊📏

Nothing like a day in the creek to get caught up!

A handful of our lady RiverCorps members out there doing cool girl projects. From sampling to monitoring stream health and conducting electrofishing surveys to coordinating youth camps and inspiring the next generation of watershed stewards, these ladies have been doing it all. Every day brings a new opportunity to protect, restore, and connect people with these incredible rivers and landscapes.

Kira with the Rio Grande Headwaters Restoration Project (RGHRP) has been hard at work helping prepare for the upcoming Cañon Bonito rotenone treatment!

As part of the preparation, she conducted flow studies by releasing a safe, non-toxic dye into the stream and tracking how long it takes to travel downstream. These studies help crews better understand water movement and ensure restoration efforts are carried out safely and effectively.

It’s all part of the behind-the-scenes science that helps protect and restore healthy native fish populations.

Thrilled with this project!
By slowing the flow of water, BDAs help:

* 💧 Raise the water table, keeping streams flowing longer into late summer.
* 🌿 Reconnect streams to their floodplains, creating healthy wetlands.
* 🐟 Improve habitat for fish, amphibians, birds, and other wildlife.
* 🌱 Encourage the growth of native riparian vegetation like willows and sedges.
* 🔥 Increase landscape resilience to drought and wildfire by retaining moisture.
* 🌊 Reduce erosion and trap sediment, improving overall stream health.

Cat with Pitkin County Healthy Rivers & Streams, headed up Hunter Creek for an electrofishing survey to monitor native fish populations. Using this important conservation tool, we surveyed Brook Trout and Colorado River Cutthroat Trout populations while removing non-native Brook Trout to help support and restore healthy Cutthroat populations.

Efforts like these play a vital role in protecting Colorado’s native fisheries and ensuring these iconic fish continue to thrive for generations to come. 🎣

These week long field hitches are getting uncomfortable.🔥
We’re so impressed and grateful for our restoration crews out in the heat this summer.

Hilary with Estes Valley Watershed Coalition and Big Thompson Watershed Coalition has been out in the field completing routine site monitoring, helping track the health of local waterways. Every sample collected and every observation recorded adds to a better understanding of our rivers and streams, supporting informed conservation efforts for years to come.

Addie and our partners at BLM in Cañon City recently helped restock Grape Creek with hybrid rainbow trout to restore ecological balance and increases biodiversity.

Every fish released is another step toward thriving waterways and better fishing opportunities.

Behind every water sample is a team dedicated to protecting our water resources!

Leah and Alivia from River Science’s PFAS team have been traveling across the region, assisting water system operators with PFAS sampling during site visits. Their work helps ensure samples are collected accurately and consistently, providing the high-quality data needed to better understand and monitor these emerging contaminants.

Thanks to all the water operators who continue to partner with us to protect our communities and our water!
