The Headwaters of Colorado (HoC) Stakeholder Tour offered participants a firsthand look at ongoing collaborative restoration efforts across the HoC geography. The day began with a morning presentation in Hahns Peak Village, featuring updates from Friends Of The Yampa on the Elk River Scorecard project, the U.S. Forest Service on tree replanting projects in Big Red Park, and an overview from HoC leadership on current progress and future direction. The group then toured a bridge and culvert restoration project led by Trout Unlimited on the Middle Fork of the Little Snake River, followed by an active logging operation with the Colorado State Forest Service, which highlighted the complexities of working across public and private lands. The tour concluded at Battle Mountain, Wyoming, where attendees observed ongoing mastication projects focused on improving forest health and reducing wildfire risk.
