7/09 - Neubecker Named 2009 River Conservator
Ken NeubeckerRoaring Fork Conservancy will recognize Ken Neubecker as the 2009 Robert Billingsley River Conservator award recipient at the 10th Anniversary River Rendezvous in July. Ken is the current President of Colorado Trout Unlimited. He is the Environmental Representative on the Colorado River Basin Roundtable, serves on the Governor’s Forest Health Advisory Council, the BLM Glenwood Springs Field Office RAC Sub-Committee, and the Board of the Colorado Watershed Assembly.

Ken first became involved in river conservation from his love of fly-fishing and the Eagle River, starting with the Homestake II project and the Eagle Mine disaster in the early 1990s. He was one of the authors of the Eagle River Watershed Management Plan and a founder of the Eagle River Watershed Council. He helped reorganize the Eagle River Chapter and Ferdinand Hayden Chapters of TU and is a volunteer with Roaring Fork Conservancy. Ken has also been active with energy, roadless, and water quality issues. He has made several trips to Washington, DC over the past few years, testifying before Congressional Committees and Sub-Committees, and the Forest Service Roadless Area Review Committee. He has also testified several times before the Colorado General Assembly on water conservation issues and bills.
