The Upper Colorado River isn’t just water—it’s life. It feeds ranchlands, supports wildlife, powers towns, and anchors generations of tradition across the Upper Basin. But today, it’s under threat. The decisions made in the next few years will shape the future of this region for decades. UCRA exists to make sure those decisions include your voice. Whether you’re a rancher, policymaker, student, business owner, or concerned citizen, there’s a place for you here.
Your tax-deductible donation helps us fund research, legal advocacy, community outreach, and conservation efforts throughout the Upper Basin. Every dollar goes toward protecting water, land, and legacy.

Want to bring the conversation to your town, school, or organization? We can help you organize a UCRA town hall, water forum, or educational workshop. These events create space for local voices to be heard—and acted on.
The Colorado River isn’t just a policy issue—it’s personal. We collect stories from families, ranchers, tribal elders, and local leaders whose lives are shaped by this river. Your story can inspire action and preserve history.
