THE CLEAR CREEK FOREST AND HEALTH PARTNERSHIP, LOCATED WEST OF DENVER, COLORADO, PLANS TO STRENGTHEN THEIR COALITION OF DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS AND DEVELOP LOCAL SOLUTIONS TO CURRENT AND FUTURE THREATS FACING THE CLEAR CREEK WATERSHED. THE CLEAR CREEK WATERSHED IS A DRINKING WATER SOURCE FOR MORE THAN 400,000 PEOPLE, AND PROVIDES WATER FOR LOCAL IRRIGATION, RECREATION, AND INDUSTRY. IN RECENT YEARS IT HAS EXPERIENCED WATER QUALITY DEGRADATION FROM HISTORIC MINING OPERATIONS, WILDFIRES AND POST-FIRE IMPACTS, AND OTHER WATER QUALITY AND QUANTITY STRESSORS FROM DROUGHT AND CLIMATE CHANGE. THE PROJECT WILL FURTHER DEVELOP PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION, ENSURE THE ORGANIZATIONS LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY, AND INCREASE CAPACITY TO IMPLEMENT A PRIORITIZED WATERSHED PLAN TO PROTECT AND RESTORE THE CLEAR CREEK WATERSHED.
