Colorado Humanities and the Regional Economic Development Institute at Colorado State University feature panelists Sonja Chavez from the Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District, Heather Knight from the Center for Collaborative Conservation, Wade Shelton from the Trust for Public Lands, and Mike Lester from the Colorado State Forest Service discussing natural resource assets, water headlands, and conservation efforts in Colorado.
Moderated by Dr. Dawn Thilmany, this community conversation will share the successes and challenges of Colorado’s programs to protect our natural resources. In short presentations, panelists will talk about how their organizations invest in the water, lands, and forests of the state, and key trends they believe will guide policy and programs in the Colorado natural resource sector, followed by discussion and live Q&A audience.
