Calling all public agencies! This year's annual roundtable meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 20 with three special stops along the Cache la Poudre River. We'll start the day touring the Bellvue-Watson Fish Hatchery near Fort Collins. The indoor portion of the day will feature updates from Keep It Colorado, two presentations from public agencies, discussion, and a networking lunch. Finally, we'll learn about Larimer County's conservation work at River Bluffs Open Space along the Cache la Poudre River.
While focused on the work of public agencies and designed for our public agency members, this event is open to anyone who wants to learn more about the conservation work of state and local government partners.
