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
