Protecting the clarity, health, and future of Grand Lake and Headwaters of the Upper Colorado River Watershed.

Lost water clarity since diversion
3 Connected Lakes
One fragile ecosystem
Multiple Active Projects
Restoring balance through science + nature
Project: Mysis Shrimp Research
Invasive Mysis shrimp disrupt the lake’s natural balance by consuming zooplankton that normally keep the water clean. Scientists are studying how reducing Mysis could restore clarity.
Project: Stormwater Management
New natural infrastructure slows, filters, and cleans stormwater before it enters the lake system—reducing sediment, nutrients, and harmful runoff.
