protect the Canyons campaign Now through December 31
Help protect some of the wildest low elevation lands in central Colorado. Located in the canyons of the Arkansas and South Platte Rivers, they provide clean drinking water, places of quiet solitude, non-motorized travel, and wildlife habitat including climate refugia areas for the future.
The canyons are threatened by illegal motorized travel in Wildcat Canyon and mining near Grape Creek proposed Wilderness in the Arkansas Canyon.
