Educating, Exciting, and Empowering People to Protect Their Rivers

Our vision is to establish a premier river and water center for residents, visitors, and students in the Roaring Fork Watershed. The dream began to become a reality in 2005 when four Cornerstone Donors stepped up to purchase the land for the River Center. Since that time we have worked to develop a center that will provide exceptional educational, research and water management opportunities for our community for generations to come.

The River Center will:

• Engage visitors on water issues and rivers in unique, hands-on ways
• Educate K-12 students throughout the watershed and beyond about the importance of our rivers and water.
• Empower citizens to protect their rivers, no matter where they are from.
• Host educational workshops and classes, strategic meetings and scientific researchers, creating a hub of river-related activities.
• Excite people to explore, value and protect the Roaring Fork Watershed.
