Roaring Fork Conservancy works collaboratively with local citizens, governments, agencies and partner organizations to protect rivers and streams of the Roaring Fork Watershed. Roaring Fork WatershedRoaring Fork Conservancy serves the Roaring Fork Watershed, which extends from the river’s headwaters near Independence Pass to its confluence with the Colorado River at Glenwood Springs, {{convert|70|mi|km}} downstream. The river flows through Aspen and is joined further downstream by two major tributaries: the Fryingpan River in Basalt and the Crystal River just downstream of Carbondale. The Roaring Fork Watershed (1,453 square miles) is located in west-central Colorado in Pitkin, Eagle, Garfield, and a small portion of Gunnison counties (see Figure 1.1). It comprises an area of high mountainous terrain and deep intervening valleys, with altitudes ranging from {{convert|5717|ft|m}} to {{convert|14235|ft|m}}. The Roaring Fork River is the second largest tributary of the Colorado River in the state, yielding an average of almost {{convert|1000000|acre.ft|km3}} per year.[2] Roaring Fork Watershed CollaborativeThe Roaring Fork Conservancy is a founding member of the Roaring Fork Watershed Collaborative Water Committee.[3] The Collaborative is an association of government agencies and non-profits in Eagle, Garfield, Gunnison and Pitkin County that focus on regional issues.
