NOW, WE WORK WITH OUR LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL PARTNERS TO RESTORE CRITICAL AREAS WITHIN OUR WATERSHED IN LINE WITH OUR PRIORITIES. PROJECTS MAY INCLUDE FLOODPLAIN RECONNECTION, RIPARIAN AREA PLANTING AND STABILIZATION, AND IN- STREAM HABITAT RESTORATION. DURING 2024, WE LEAD OR SUPPORTED SIX ACTIVE WATERSHED RESTORATION PROJECTS AND PLANTED MORE THAN 800 NATIVE PLANTS TO RESTORE RIPERIAN AREAS IN THE EAGLE RIVER VALLEY. 200472 EAGLE RIVER COMMUNITY WATER PLAN: THIS IS AN EAGLE RIVER WATERSHED COUNCIL-LED EFFORT TO CREATE A PATH FORWARD IN ORDER TO PROTECT OUR WATERSHED AGAINST UNDESIRABLE FUTURE CONDITIONS. MANY OTHER PLANNING EFFORTS HAVE FOCUSED ON A SNAPSHOT IN TIME AND WATER QUALITY; HOWEVER, THIS PLAN HAS A LARGE FOCUS ON WATER QUANTITY AND HOW IT WILL BE IMPACTED BY POPULATION GROWTH, CLIMATE CHANGE, AND POTENTIAL WATER RIGHTS DEVELOPMENT. FROM THIS, OUR COMMUNITY WILL HAVE A PATH FORWARD TO IMPLEMENT PROJECTS, PROGRAMS AND POLICIES THAT UPHOLD OUR COMMUNITY VALUES AND PROTECT OUR RIVERS. IN 2024, WE DISTRIBUTED 40 RAIN BARRELS TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS, HELPING TO CONSERVE WATER IN THE EAGLE RIVER VALLEY. 166905 EDUCATION: IT'S BEEN SAID THAT PEOPLE CONSERVE WHAT THEY LOVE; THEY LOVE WHAT THEY UNDERSTAND; THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY LEARN. THIS PERSPECTIVE INFORMS US AND HAS HELPED US IMPLEMENT A VIBRANT EDUCATION PROGRAM THAT CONNECTS OUR COMMUNITY TO THE RIVERS, CREATING LIFELONG RIVER LOVERS AND ADVOCATES. THROUGH PROGRAMS LIKE THE EAGLE RIVER WATER FESTIVAL THAT BRINGS TOGETHER MORE THAN 450 5TH GRADERS, AND OUR WATERSHED IMMERSIONS THAT PROVIDE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCES, WE ARE ABLE TO SHOWCASE OUR WATERSHED AND INSPIRE ACTION TO PROTECT IT. DURING 2024, WE EDUCATED MORE THAN 950 COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON PROTECTING WATERSHED HEALTH, AND WE HOSTED A FREE WATER EDUCATION DAY FOR 350 LOCAL 5TH GRADERS IN THE EAGLE RIVER VALLEY. 280662 WATER QUALITY MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT PROGRAM: THIS IS A COORDINATED EFFORT LED BY THE WATERSHED COUNCIL TO COLLECT, ANALYZE AND REPORT ON WATER QUALITY DATA AT 75 SITES ON THE EAGLE RIVER WITH 12 OTHER ENTITIES WITHIN THE EAGLE VALLEY.
