Severe wildfires threaten the water we rely on.

Our collaborative efforts and data-driven tools ensure strategic, high-impact projects that safeguard water quality and protect our environment for generations to come.

Prescribed fire is a critical management tool that reduces wildfire risks, restores native ecosystems, and improves wildlife habitats. By intentionally introducing low-intensity fire under controlled conditions, land managers mimic natural ecological cycles benefiting wildlife and native plant species in addition to reducing the risk of high severity wildfires.

This week we're thanking the Colorado State Forest Service for their partnership. 🌲

"Peaks to People has created a reliable and actionable framework for partners to collaborate on projects and innovate new ways of strategic planning. Peaks to People plays a big role in its ability to expand project footprints by bringing together individual partners and opportunities for additional funding." — Max Erickson, CSFS

We couldn't do this work without partners like CSFS. Thank you for helping protect Northern Colorado's forests and water.

Boots on the ground in Estes Park! 🥾🌲

Last month, Peaks to People hosted a forest health and riverscape restoration tour at MacGregor Ranch as part of the Western Collaborative Conservation Network's Confluence gathering. Partners and community leaders got a firsthand look at how healthy forests and healthy rivers work together.

This kind of hands-on collaboration is exactly how we protect Northern Colorado's water, one landscape at a time.

This week we're recognizing Chevron Colorado for their partnership in protecting Northern Colorado's water. 🙌

Since 2024, Chevron has invested in Peaks to People not just as a funder, but as a strategic partner, helping us move from planning to action across the Big Thompson watershed, where more than a million people depend on the water that flows from it.

Thank you, Chevron Colorado, for investing in Colorado's water future.

Wildfire doesn’t stop at a property line—and neither do its impacts.

A severe fire can affect forests, communities, roads, streams, reservoirs and drinking-water supplies across an entire watershed.

That is why wildfire resilience requires coordination across jurisdictions and sustained work before a fire starts.

For Peaks to People, Ballot Issue 1A connects to a larger question we have been working on for years: How do we turn good science, strong partnerships and identified priorities into more action on the ground?

Wildfire doesn't have to reach your neighborhood to affect your water.

A fire burning 60 miles upstream can strip away the forest that naturally filters your drinking water. When the rain comes, ash and sediment wash straight into the rivers and reservoirs communities rely on, and treatment costs go up for years.

Healthy forests are the best water treatment infrastructure we have. That's why Peaks to People funds restoration work before wildfire strikes.

We know where many of Larimer County’s wildfire and watershed risks are. We know many of the actions that can help address them. And across Northern Colorado, strong partnerships are already working to move those priorities forward.

What is often harder to secure is sustained funding to put more of that work on the ground.

That is the context behind Peaks to People’s endorsement of Larimer County Ballot Issue 1A.

In our latest blog, we explain our perspective on the measure and why sustained investment is an important part of moving from planning to action.

Learn more about 1A and why we chose to support it:

We have the knowledge and partnerships ready; what we need now is sustained investment to do this work at scale.
