Colorado just experienced its worst snowpack on record. 

The impacts of record-breaking drought are straining our water supplies and worsening our Wildfire risk. 

On top of that, approximately 80% of the state's land lacks permanent protection and could be lost to development. Forest and Wildfire scientists estimate that Colorado needs up to 200 million more every year to limit the risks of catastrophic Wildfire, conserve Clean Water supplies and protect the state's most important lands and Waters from development. 

Over the summer we've been talking about all of the different ways that we use conservation funding to advance protections for land and water.


This year Colorado has a chance to permanently commit dollars for the work that's urgently needed to protect the state from dangerous severe wildfires and the impacts of drought. WRA and our partners worked to get Proposition 137 on the November ballot.  Prop 137 provides Coloradoans with the chance to act now and protect what we love most about our state.

On this podcast, we explore what Prop 137 does, why we put it forward, and most importantly - how you can get involved.

On today's episode: How Colorado can protect its most valuable resource – nature – via Prop 137.
