Our Goals

Water Quality and Quantity
Water Quality and Quantity
Water is the lifeblood of the West. The quantity and quality of water is extremely important for the health of our communities and ecosystem. We support increased water storage, improved irrigation water management practices, and appropriate riparian habitats.

Sustainable Land Use
Sustainable Land Use
As population increases, natural and agricultural landscapes are continually manipulated. We engage with our community to provide landowners information and resources to steward their diverse properties.

Integrated Pest Management
Various pests can damage our fragile ecosystem and affect the quality of our land. We encourage and assist landowners in controlling noxious weeds. We advocate for pollinator protection and appropriate prairie dog management.
