Predicting powder and the science of snow with meteorologist Joel Gratz 

Joel will present what the latest research says about how far in advance we can predict powder, he’ll pinpoint which weather patterns bring the most snow to central Colorado, and he will also take you through a live forecast by showing the same satellite, radar, and weather model maps that he uses to make his daily predictions.

This program is full. Sorry, no extra seats at the door.

River Watch Open House

RFC and River Watch of Colorado hosted a Meet and Greet event for volunteers participating in the River Watch Program.

Participants from Aspen to Silt connected with each other, meet River Watch staff, and heard Barb Horn, founder of the River Watch program, speak about how River Watch data is utilized throughout the State.

Education Highlight: "Diving" with Dippers 

Basalt kindergarteners dove into learning with Dee Dee the Fryingpan River Dipper over the last month. 

After listening to Dee Dee's story, students created nests for their dipper families. The students loved finding the perfect spot to place their nests along our indoor model of the Fryingpan River.

Three Mile Creek Confluence Comprehensive Planning & Design Project

The City of Glenwood Springs invites you to participate in planning efforts for the Three Mile Creek and Roaring Fork River confluence. High use of the area over time has resulted in the loss of valuable recreation space and area for riparian plant species to thrive.

RFC is serving as a technical advisor on this project.

To participate, please complete the project survey at www.surveymonkey.com/r/ThreeMileDesign.
