The Colorado Water Conservation Board’s mission is to conserve, develop, protect, and manage Colorado’s water for present and future generations. In order to carry to mission into the future, we need to continually develop watershed stewards and natural resources professionals. Partnering with Youth Corps across the state creates immediate jobs in natural resource management while training the next generation of professionals that will carry on CWCB’s mission through their future work.
