PARTY TIME: Join Us At Save The Poudre’s End-Of-Year Party, Dec. 4th

Hi Poudre River Lovers!

Please join us on Dec. 4th for our year-end party! We will update you on all of our work, tell you what happened this year, and what’s going to happen next year with our almost-15 year fight against the Northern Integrated Supply Project.

In addition, our guest speaker will be former Fort Collins City Councilmember and Sierra Club Raconteur Alan Apt who has a new book out. Published by the Colorado Mountain Club and titled, Ski and Snowshoe Routes on Colorado’s Front Range, the book describes and maps the best routes all along the Front Range mountains all within easy driving distance of Larimer County. Alan will also generously donate a portion of book sales to Save The Poudre at the event! Alan has a great slideshow, and his book might make a perfect holiday gift for a snow-loving friend or family member.

Take Action: Say “NO” to the Thornton Pipeline, and “YES” to the Poudre River!

Hi Amazing Poudre River Lovers! We have a once-in-100 years opportunity to help restore the Poudre River, and your voice can help do that -- don't miss out!! On January 28th, the Larimer County Commissioners will be making a decision on the Thornton Pipeline. Save The Poudre and many homeowners north of Fort Collins have been working with Larimer County for over a year to support the County Commissioners in saying "NO" to the Thornton Pipeline and "YES" to the Poudre River. Thornton can send their water down the Poudre River and remove that water from the river near Windsor, instead of putting the water in a massively damaging pipeline across northern Larimer County. This is a "win-win" for Thornton, Larimer County, and the Poudre River. We need you to click through here to send an email to the Larimer County Commissioners. Please click through today! Please check out our new video about the Thornton Pipeline here! Thank you for Taking Action to Restore the Poudre River!

Did you see the Poudre River on TV Yesterday?

Hi Poudre River Lovers! Did you see the Poudre River on TV Yesterday? Channel 7 in Denver did a profile of Save The Poudre's work to protect the Poudre River in northern Colorado. We told them the story point-blank: The Northern Integrated Supply Project would further drain and destroy the Poudre River, and it must be stopped! Yesterday, we also sent you a fundraising email letting you know that it's "Go Time" for our efforts to fight this massive river-draining dam project in court. It's been 15 years, but 2018 will be the year where we need to raise as much money as possible to plan and carry out our legal work. You've stayed with us for 15 years, and now it's time to run through the tape to the finish line. Can you please donate to Save The Poudre today? Click here to donate online. We are working hard! And we will work even harder with your support! Thank you! Gary Wockner Director, Save The Poudre

PRESS RELEASE: Judge Allows Save The Poudre To Intervene Against Thornton Pipeline

July 14, 2019 For Immediate Release Contact: Gary Wockner, Save The Poudre, 970-218-8310 Judge Allows Save The Poudre To Intervene Against Thornton Pipeline Poudre River, Colorado: Today, State District Court Judge, JUAN G. VILLASEÑOR, issued an order allowing for Save The Poudre to "intervene" in the lawsuit the City of Thornton is waging against Larimer County about the proposed Thornton Pipeline (the order is posted here). Thornton opposed Save The Poudre's intervention and formally motioned the court against it. The neighborhood group, "No Pipedream", was also allowed to intervene in the same order. "We are pleased with the court's decision and, to the best of our ability, we will defend the Larimer County Commissioners' decision to stop the Thornton Pipeline and send the water down the Poudre River through Fort Collins," said Gary Wockner, director of Save The Poudre. "The Poudre River is already degraded by dams, diversions, and pipelines -- adding this water to the river will increase the river's health and make the river cleaner for all Larimer County residents to enjoy." The court case is expected to play out of the next 6 - 12 months as attorneys for Larimer County, Save The Poudre, and No Pipedream will all now defend the decision by the Larimer County Commissioners. Thornton has fought a bitter, expensive, and so-far losing battle to build their pipeline while other alternatives exist including the "Poudre River Option" which was discussed at length during the year-long permitting battle that Thornton lost. "We should all be collaborating about how Thornton can get water and how we can restore the Poudre River, rather than fighting in court," said Wockner. "Thornton is wasting millions of dollars of its citizens' money, continuing to anger Larimer County residents, and wasting everyone's time." **end**
