UGRWCD HOSTS STUDENTS FROM THE LEAD HOMESCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM FOR A MORNING OF WATERSHED EDUCATION

Nearly 40 students and program leaders visited the District’s facility on May 15, 2025 for a morning of learning about the Upper Gunnison River watershed.  District staff provided instruction on aquatic nuisance species and water quality testing, the advantages of and building Wet Meadows Restoration structures, and lessons on streamflow and riparian concepts at the Water Wonder Trailer.
