Attendees will learn about the current state of the Colorado River and reflect on their relationship with water, trace the history of water development in the Grand Valley, and examine the vital intersection of food production and rangelands. As we navigate a changing climate in an already arid landscape, this series addresses why drought, our water heritage, and rangelands matter, and how can we collectively shape a sustainable future.
