Wetland Restoration The Coalition worked with Town of Telluride to promote wetland function at the Beaver pond and Pine Street wetland. The Coalition is working with the USFS and BLM to identify restoration locations across the watershed on the GMUG using low-tech restoration techniques. Much of this work is focused around restoring beaver to the landscape and re-establishment of woody debris in the river. These techniques are a natural climate solution to create a well functioning, self-sufficient ecosystem that spreads water across the landscape, recharges groundwater stores, reconnects degraded rivers to their floodplains, restores wildlife habitat, resists wildfire and sequesters carbon. Develop an Integrated Hydrologic Model of the San Miguel Watershed - The Coalition has received a $250,000 grant from the Colorado Water Conservation Board and local governments to create a model to aid the Coalition and its partners in understanding the role of groundwater within the basin and projects the effects of different climate scenarios on our water resources. The modeling tool will also be used to design mitigation/optimization strategies for ecological restoration, agricultural operations, municipal water supplies, extreme events (fires, floods, landslides) and industry. The model will be complete in fall of 2024. Education and Advocacy the Coalition continues to provide critical information about issues that affect the greater watershed community and the governments and agencies that manage our landscapes and resources. These educational activities include a forest health forum at the Wilkinson Library, field trips with Telluride and Norwood schools, stakeholder meetings and newsletters. The Coalition hosted the 2023 Watershed Forum in Norwood, featuring presentations on the Stream Management Plan, regional climate, process based restoration, Colorado River issues and San Miguel Watershed issues. River Cleanups - The Coalition completed its second annual river cleanup of the popular BLM campgrounds and river corridor between Placerville and the Norwood Bridge in September on National Public Lands Day. The Coalition partnered with the BLM to host the event. Stream Management Plan - The Coalition is facilitating eighteen environmental and recreational, multi-benefit water projects developed in a five year stakeholder process to address nonconsumptive needs across the watershed. Wildfire and Forest Health - The Coalition continues to support Dr. Sibolds forest health monitoring in Bear Creek in the upper watershed. The Coalition is also playing a leadership role in partnership with the West Region Wildfire Council and San Miguel County to facilitate a stakeholder group to identify wildfire mitigation and forest health projects in the watershed. 28226 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false TODD BROWN 9707087916 PO BOX 1601 TELLURIDE CO 81435 X JESSIE RAE ARGUELLES Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROGER RASH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EARL REAMS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHERRI COOPER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TODD BROWN Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KRIS HOLSTROM Vice President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JIM WELLS President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MASON OSGOOD Secretary 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ADRIAN BERGERE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 67618 165250 232868 0 0 0 0 0 0 2020 2020 0 2801 1864 937 937 0 235825 937 0 0 0 0 0 0 77038 77038 0 3532 3532 9000 9000 0 0 2065 2065 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3289 3289 1712 1712 0 0 0 0 0 2301 2301 WATER QUALITY MONITORING 13874 13874 RIVER RESTORATION 8821 8821 CONSULTING 7087 7087 FACILITIES 4350 4350 3819 3819 136888 28226 108662 0 2685 78863 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2685 78863 22759 22759 0 X -20074 78863 -20074 78863 2685 78863 98937 X false false false X 85081 116198 81852 78923 232868 594922 0 0 0 0 85081 116198 81852 78923 232868 594922 0 0 594922 0 0 0 0 85081 116198 81852 78923 232868 594922 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 X Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b No review was or will be conducted.
