2025 Annual Report
As we look back on the past year, the theme that resonates most at Colorado Water Trust is growth. To meet the increasing needs of our state’s waterways, we expanded our staff from seven to nine dedicated professionals. This growth in capacity led to an historic achievement: we restored 5.12 billion gallons to Colorado’s rivers this year—more than ever before.
These milestones wouldn’t be possible without you. Thank you to our donors and our entire community for your unwavering support and for making this vital work possible.
Our Impact on Boulder Creek
In an era where climate change and overconsumption threaten our waterways, a remarkable act of generosity and foresight emerged from the Indian Peaks Wilderness. On August 29, 2024, an anonymous donor gifted water from the Jasper Reservoir to the Colorado Water Trust, marking the largest water donation in Colorado’s history.
This act ensures the protection of 37 miles of Boulder Creek, safeguarding its flow, ecosystems, and recreational value for generations to come. A warming climate will continue to put pressure on Boulder Creek, but this source of water will be protected forever.
Thank you!
Our projects would not be possible without the help of our partners that generously contribute water rights, time, capital, and support. Thank you for being an important part of the Colorado Water Trust community.
