Coalition for the Upper South Platte: Fire Suppression and Waldo Canyon Recovery Team

What We Do

We serve the common ground for the common good. We protect the area in and around the 2,600-square-mile Upper South Platte watershed. A true sense of purpose drives our work on water resource quality, protection of the environment, riparian corridor enhancement and restoration, forest health, and fire rehabilitation, as well as large-scale volunteer engagement and environmental education.

Why We’re Great!

We have helped heal the scars that the Hayman Fire left on our land and in our hearts. We are taking the lessons learned from the Hayman Fire to help with the restoration and recovery efforts of the Waldo Canyon Fire. We bring leading-edge technology to restoration projects throughout the watershed. We develop and implement best practices for catastrophic event mitigation, recovery and restoration. We even have an active Red Card Certified Wildland Firefighting Team!
