Colorado Water Conservation Board Public Education, Participation, and Outreach Program (PEPO) Statewide Workgroup Priorities
Public Education Outreach & Participation (PEPO) funding was recently expanded by the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) to include a “Statewide Initiatives” category. In creating the Statewide Initiatives category, the Water Plan serves as the main driver of the priorities noted in the PEPO Grant Criteria and Guidelines. Because the Water Plan outlines broad priorities, the PEPO workgroup along with CWCB have together outlined funding priorities for the Statewide Initiatives fund to help spur applicant ideas and guide program development.

The Metro Roundtable (MRT) is looking to fill two voting At-Large Seats. Established through the Colorado Water for the 21st Century Act to facilitate discussions on water management issues and encourage locally driven collaborative solutions, the MRT consists of up to 36 voting members who collectively represent the Metro region’s unique needs and water uses.
In late summer and through the fall of 2020, the two largest wildfires in state history burned through Colorado. The Cameron Peak Fire burned 208,913 acres in the Cache la Poudre River and Big Thompson Watersheds, critical source watersheds for over one million people, including the Cities of Fort Collins and Greeley. The East Troublesome Fire burned 193,812 acres primarily in Grand County, but also spread to Larimer and Jackson Counties. The Wildfire Watershed Restoration Process Improvement Workgroup was formed following a series of meetings and tours of the Cameron Peak and East Troublesome Fires with Colorado state and federal delegations in May 2021. This report outlines many additions and changes that can be made to the watershed restoration process.
