Here’s the release from CFWE (Kristin Maharg):
Fountain Creek drains an urban watershed serving 1/2 million people from north of Colorado Springs down to Pueblo. Changes in the watershed have increased flooding and erosion, accelerated farmland and habitat loss, and destroyed the foundations of roads and homes. However, there is an exciting, collaborative initiative to restore the ecosystem’s health, integrity and sustainability.
Attend this fun all-day watershed tour on Tuesday, June 22 to learn how municipal districts, non-profits and state government are working together to create a vital amenity for the communities through which Fountain Creek flows. Participants will also be provided with hands-on education tools in related content areas. Secondary teachers receive 1/2 credit hour from Colorado School of Mines for attending the tour.
