The Roaring Fork River with Mount Sopris in the backgroundRoaring Fork Conservancy is the watershed conservation organization in the Roaring Fork Valley that brings people together to protect our rivers. We are an independent, non-profit 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to inspire people to explore, value, and protect the Roaring Fork Watershed. From Aspen to Glenwood Springs, Meredith to Marble, Roaring Fork Conservancy is focused on:
water quantity -- keeping water in our rivers,
water quality -- keeping our rivers healthy, and
habitat preservation -- keeping our riparian habitat intact.

Founded in November 1996 through a unique public-private partnership, Roaring Fork Conservancy has become one of the most respected watershed conservation organizations in Colorado. Jeanne Beaudry served as first Executive Director from 1997 to 2005 and long-time staffer Rick Lofaro became the second Executive Director in May of 2005. Roaring Fork Conservancy's offices have been located in Basalt, the geographic center of the watershed, from the time of its inception. We are currently funded through individual donations, grants, special events, and program fees. In 2000, Roaring Fork Conservancy formed the Rivers Council to help raise funds for the organization's four program areas: watershed education, land conservation, water resources research, and water quality monitoring.
