The Coalition for the Poudre River Watershed plays a unique role as a community-based watershed group. We convene stakeholders around emerging water and forest issues, share information, coordinate projects and volunteers, educate residents, and promote stewardship of the Cache la Poudre River Watershed for current and future generations. All of this work requires a community of active and engaged citizens - join us in our mission!

That area of land, a bounded hydrologic system, within which all living things are inextricably linked by their common water course & where, as humans settled, simple logic demanded that they become part of a community.
