Join Evergreen Audubon and Evergreen Metro District for an exciting new program series!

Bear Creek is a vital water source for our mountain community, and its watershed stretches from Summit Lake on Mount Blue Sky all the way down to Bear Creek Lake. This program series will give participants hands-on experience caring for our watershed; including three informational sessions and three hands-on field days! Participants will be trained in macroinvertebrate sampling – a method for evaluating the health of the water by studying the aquatic insects that live there – and be part of an important community science initiative.

Alongside this new program series, Evergreen Audubon and Evergreen Metro District are launching a Watershed Warriors Annual Competition – focused on watershed protection and awareness. Join the competition to earn points for conservation tasks such as: picking up litter, attending a watershed workshop, recycling fishing line, and more! Watershed Warriors with the most points at the end of the year can win prizes and community recognition!

Sign up today to learn how you can become a Watershed Warrior!
