Water and forests are connected.

The connection between healthy forests and clean, reliable water is inseparable. That’s why the Northern Colorado Fireshed Collaborative partners with organized watershed groups to strengthen forest resilience across the region. Our work spans six primary watersheds, each focused on protecting and restoring Colorado’s vital water and forest resources.
