Bioblitz! Homestake Community Science Project highlights biodiversity in an irreplaceable valley

2023-04-06T20:38:17-06:00

From the Winter 2022 Issue of Wild Works On the eastern edge of the Holy Cross Wilderness near Red Cliff lies the Homestake Valley, home to a diversity of plant and animal life and an abundance of recreation opportunities. The Valley is also home to a special kind of wetlands, known as fens. These nutrient-rich wetlands take around 10,000 years to develop, support plant and animal communities, and act as a natural cold water storage system. As we’ve shared in past issues of Wild Works, Wilderness Workshop has been working to stop a proposed dam and reservoir that would destroy [...]

2023-04-06T20:36:00-06:00

From the Winter 2022 Issue of Wild Works Wilderness Workshop’s early days are filled with stories of our three founders - Dottie, Connie, and Joy - spending time not in stuffy meeting rooms or the halls of Congress (thought they would do this too!) but out on public lands. These three women and an entourage of volunteers spent a tremendous amount of time inventorying and documenting public lands in the White River National Forest, determining what areas were eligible for wilderness, and then literally going back to their kitchen tables and drawing maps that many of us would recognize today! Ensuring we know our [...]

An opportunity to protect 1.5 million acres of Colorado’s public lands

2023-04-06T20:35:46-06:00

New plans will require a hard look at climate impacts From the Winter 2022 Issue of Wild Works. This summer, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) started a new planning process for 1.5 million acres of public lands in western Colorado, spanning the Colorado River Valley and Grand Junction Field Offices. The BLM finalized resource management plans for this region in 2015, adopting heavily imbalanced plans that opened 80% of our public lands to oil and gas leasing and development. We challenged those plans in court and as a result of our legal challenges, the BLM is now revisiting [...]
