Charity MIssion

  Blue River Watershed Group (BRWG’s) mission is to promote, protect, and restore a healthy Blue River watershed through cooperative community education, stewardship, and resource management.

 

Why is it important?

Over the years, BRWG has worked on several important stream restoration projects, such as the Tenmile Creek stream restoration project that was completed in 2016 and enhanced floodplain connectivity, fish habitat quality, scenery, and wetlands function, and improved recreational opportunities and public access to the section of Tenmile Creek between the Conoco gas station and Copper Mountain. BRWG has also worked on watershed planning projects, including the Snake River Watershed Plan, and work on educating the community on the issues impacting our watershed. BRWG is developing an Integrated Water Management Plan to help identify future projects that will improve the watershed's health.

How do they do it?

BRWG’s watershed restoration projects vary but generally involve the restoration of stream and floodplain functions, self-sustaining trout fisheries, and habitats that promote diversity of native wildlife. Another important component of their work surrounds providing education opportunities and restoration techniques for streams degraded by historic dredge mining. By restoring sensitive watersheds, BRWG is able to enhance public open space and opportunities for water and trail-based recreation activities.
