What we do
Whether it’s exploring Rocky Mountain National Park, hiking Dolores Canyon, or enjoying a special place closer to home, Colorado’s natural wonders enrich our lives in countless ways. Yet the places we love and the values we share are too often threatened.
We research the issues and educate the public about what’s at stake. Through our reports, news conferences and interviews with reporters, we help the media cover environmental issues in ways that make sense. Our canvassers meet citizens where they are — starting conversations in public places or going to door-to-door — explaining our mission while raising awareness and funds for environmental protection.
When decisions are being made about our environment, our elected officials hear plenty from the oil companies, developers and other powerful interests. We speak up for our environment, making our case to public officials and helping you make your voice heard when it matters most. From anglers to white-water enthusiasts, clergy to scientists, families to business owners, we all have a stake in a cleaner, healthier future. That’s why tens of thousands of people are members of Environment Colorado.

Putting your support to work

- We're standing up for Colorado's rivers. Sen. Lucia Guzman, Commerce City Mayor Pro Tem Dominick Moreno and Confluence Kayaks owner Alex Manzo joined Environment Colorado staff and activists at public events calling on the EPA to restore Clean Water Act protections the streams that feed and filter our rivers.
- We won Clean Air, Clean Jobs — and less coal. Two Metro-Denver coal-fired power plants will close or convert to cleaner energy sources under the Clean Air, Clean Jobs Act, which we helped pass in 2010. More.
- We're keeping Colorado’s national forests remain pristine. The Arapaho-Roosevelt, White River and San Juan National Forests are safe from logging and new roads thanks to protections we worked to create and defend.
