Ways to participate
Community Education Programs
Our community education programs are offered to the public to engage with our local watershed. Opportunities include tours, community science days and presentations. To stay up to date on these opportunities please visit our events page!
Learn via Email
We offer a few ways to stay engaged with the Eagle River Coalition via email!
Throughout the year we send out monthly E-newsletters. In these e-newsletters you can expect to get updated on any watershed news happening within Eagle River Watershed, all of our upcoming events and news about water in the west. This is also where we announce all of our events FIRST, so you can get a chance to register before anyone else.
Once runoff starts we offer weekly River Reports. In these emails, you will learn more about the state of streamflows in Eagle County over the summer compared to the average.
Once the warm temperatures arrive, we send out daily temperature alerts. As air temperatures rise and streamflows decline, keeping an eye out for high river temperatures is extremely important for the health of our watershed!

Explore Water Efficiency through Beyond Lawn
Did you know that…
- Turf grass is the largest irrigated crop in the United States
- Each year, the amount of water used in America to irritate grass could fill both Lake Powell and Lake Mead
- Roughly 80% of outdoor water consumption is lost to runoff, soil absorption and evaporation
The Beyond Lawn program is a shared initiative with Eagle River Coalition and the Eagle County Conservation District. It supports landowners and HOAs by helping reduce landscaping water use to reduce the impact on our natural water resources and to save property owners money as the cost of providing water service increases.
Real Time River Report
With rising drought risk, hotter summers, and uncertain river flows, we’ve created a new tool for users in the Eagle River Valley. This easy-to-use resource lets you view real-time river flows and temperatures—and compare them to historical averages. Stay informed and make better decisions for your water use and recreation.
