SUMMARY:Denver Water Law Review Symposium 2024
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 University of Denver Water Law Symposium will be hosted in the University of Denver Sturm College of Law on April 19th\, with a virtual attendance option available. The theme is Water as a Nexus: Agriculture in the Arid West.   \nAgricultural production in Colorado plays a significant role in the state’s economy and remains the economic backbone of many rural communities. Agriculture strengthens Colorado’s food security and upholds our state’s cultural identity. The agricultural sector in Colorado and across the West faces multiple water resource challenges including drought\, climate change\, and the potential for increasing supply gaps. Colorado is home to a notable group of water and agricultural experts who are driving innovative solutions for these challenges in the industry. \nThis year\, the University of Denver Water Law Review will facilitate conversations centering on the ways that the agricultural industry shapes the economic and environmental future of Colorado and the West amid the challenges posed by the climate crisis. The Symposium is excited to welcome not only water and environmental lawyers\, but also farmers\, ranchers\, tribal leaders\, agricultural engineers\, and conservationists. At the 2024 Symposium\, these voices will gather together to share their expertise and unique perspectives on the frameworks that govern water access\, agricultural management and conservation\, innovation and more. \n\nKate Ryan\, Executive Director of Colorado Water Trust\, will be a panelist during one of the symposium sessions.  \n\nThrough these panels\, attendees will consider the ways that innovative solutions can result in controversy\, and to begin to lay some groundwork for navigating within that controversy through cooperative and collaborative water management solutions. \nFor more information on the 2024 University of Denver Water Law Symposium please contact Claire Johnson or Nicole Pla.

SUMMARY:Hanging in the Balance: Competing Needs for Water in the West
DESCRIPTION:Hanging in the Balance: Competing Needs for Water in the West\nDemand for water is increasing while availability is decreasing. How do we balance the needs of the environment\, recreation\, and agriculture? Presented by Aspen Journalism and Colorado Water Trust in partnership with The Arts Campus At Willits (TACAW) and Aspen Public Radio\, the community is invited to this free event featuring an expert panel discussing the challenges and opportunities presented by our collective need to stretch a limited resource. Cash bar with hosted snacks opens at 5:15 pm with the discussion to begin at 6:15 pm. RSVP to reserve your seat. \nExpert Panel Featuring:\nHeather Sackett\, moderator\, is the editor and lead reporter for Aspen Journalism’s water desk\, a position she has held since 2019. As AJ’s water desk editor\, Heather covers how policy and politics affect water management in Colorado\, primarily in the Roaring Fork and other headwaters basins of the Colorado River. She has also reported for The Denver Post and the Telluride Daily Planet and has a master’s degree from CU’s Center for Environmental Journalism. Sackett’s reporting\, notable for its sophistication and accessibility\, has been recognized by the Colorado Press Association. \n  \nKate Ryan is a water lawyer who joined Colorado Water Trust in 2018 and was appointed as Executive Director in 2023. As a lawyer\, the first case she took through water court was for the Water Trust’s Three Sisters Ditch project on Hermosa Creek. Back in the early 2000s\, Kate had the chance to work with Recreational In Channel Water Rights for boating on the Eagle River. Kate’s past clients include farmers\, ranchers\, municipalities\, landowners\, the CWCB\, and the Water Trust itself. Before going to Berkeley Law she obtained a master’s degree in geography at the University of Colorado and worked as an associate scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center. \n  \nMark Harris is a Senior Water Resources Consultant for SGM Engineers and Consultants. Previously Mark was the General Manager of the Grand Valley Water Users Association in Grand Junction. In that capacity he worked on water supply\, conservation\, water quality\, streamflow\, and endangered species recovery issues locally\, regionally\, and state and Basin wide. His work included innovative collaborative efforts with many public\, private\, and NGO organizations\, including the Colorado Water Trust and its support of the Vinelands Power Plant in Palisade. Mark has been involved in production agriculture and agribusiness throughout the intermountain west\, has degrees in Economics from Colorado College and Agricultural Development from Texas A&M\, and lives on the farm he grew up on. \nHattie Johnson is the Restoration Director of American Whitewater’s southern Rockies Stewardship Program and is based in Carbondale\, Colorado. Prior to joining American Whitewater in 2019\, Hattie worked with Carbondale based engineering firm\, River Restoration\, for six years\, gaining an understanding of the connection of western communities to their waterways and how that connection encompasses long standing law and tradition as well as constant evolution. Hattie has a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree from the University of Georgia and is a licensed Professional Landscape Architect in Colorado. Her training as a landscape architect provides an interesting perspective on humans and their connection to the natural and built environment. Working in river restoration and recreation enhancement design provided insight into the physical and social connections people have to their local riverscapes. Shifting to water advocacy has provided an opportunity for a new approach and perspective to protecting and enhancing human relationships with rivers. In her spare time\, you can find Hattie and her family exploring headwaters creeks and rafting on the incredible desert river canyons of the Colorado Plateau. \nAndy Mueller is the General Manager of the Colorado River Water Conservation District\, whose mission is to lead in the protection\, conservation\, use and development of the waters of the Colorado River for the residents of the Western Slope and to safeguard for all of Colorado all waters of the Colorado River to which the state is entitled.

His work ranged across the breadth of critical western Colorado topics: water\, natural resources\, land use and community issues. For nine years from 2006-15\, he was Ouray County’s director on the Colorado River District Board\, his last two as Board President. Andy also serves on the advisory board of the Family Farm Alliance and as an ex-officio member of the Water for Tribes Initiative Advisory Board. Andy earned his law degree from University of Colorado in 1995 after earning his BA in history from Kenyon College in Gambier\, Ohio.

SUMMARY:Roots So Deep Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:“Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there)” is a four-part documentary series all about inventive farmers and maverick scientists asking if an underutilized way to graze cattle\, that mimics the way bison once roamed the land\, can help get farmers out of debt\, restore our depleted soils\, rebuild wildlife habitat and draw down carbon? Cattle have been seen as eco-villains for a long time. What if they can help save us from catastrophic climate change? \nFor this special screening\, we will be showing Episodes 1 and 4. There will be a Q&A and discussion with director Peter Byck following the show. \nThe audience is invited to join a free reception following the screening at Corrida\, 1023 Walnut St STE 400\, Boulder\, CO 80302. \nPresented by Conscience Bay Research\, Corrida and Regenified.

SUMMARY:Roots So Deep Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:A documentary series on the inventive farmers and maverick scientists building a path to solving climate change with hooves\, heart\, and soil.  \nThe Salazar Center is hosting a free screening of “Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there)\,” a 4-part documentary series all about inventive farmers and maverick scientists building a path to solving climate change with hooves\, heart and soil. \nCan a novel way to graze cattle\, that mimics the way bison once roamed the land\, help get farmers out of debt\, restore our depleted soils\, rebuild wildlife habitat and draw down huge amounts of carbon? Cattle have been seen as eco-villains for a long time. What if they can help save us from catastrophic climate change? \n“Roots So Deep” is guided by director and wrangler of scientists Peter Byck as he meets farmers on both sides of the fence – the folks practicing a new way to graze\, and their neighbors set in their family’s generations-old method of doing things. Byck’s team of outcast scientists are measuring what’s happening on both sides of the fences – exploring if this new\, adaptive grazing could help slow down climate change. \nPeter Byck is a professor of practice at Arizona State University\, in both the School of Sustainability and the Cronkite School of Journalism. He is the director\, producer\, and writer of carbon nation. He is currently helping to lead a $5.3 million research project focused on Adaptive Multi-Paddock (AMP) grazing; collaborating with 20 scientists and 10 ranchers\, focused on soil health & soil carbon storage\, microbial/bug/bird biodiversity\, water cycling and much more.

SUMMARY:Water\, Drought\, & the Future of Agriculture in the American West
DESCRIPTION:Telluride Foundation and Colorado Water Trust present: Water\, Drought and the Future of Agriculture in the West—a conversation with agriculturalists actively working on water conservation solutions. \nJoin the Colorado Water Trust and the Telluride Foundation for a panel discussion where we dive deep into the challenges faced by Colorado agriculturalists given the ongoing water crisis. Learn about the impact of water scarcity and drought and how ranchers and farmers are rethinking how they use and depend on water. Between population growth\, climate change causing extreme drought conditions\, and the over-use of Colorado River Basin water supplies\, a complex set of interrelated problems are stacking up and will clearly impact all of us living in the West. The panel will share their own experiences and discuss innovative solutions that are shaping the way we grow crops\, raise cattle\, manage water\, and sustain our communities. \nHors d’oeuvres and a cash bar will be available\, and the panelists for this conversation include: \nKathleen Curry—Kathleen has been working in the water field since the early 90s and currently owns a small governmental affairs consulting business. Kathleen and her husband Greg Peterson own and operate a cow/calf operation on Tomichi and Razor Creeks in eastern Gunnison County. She obtained a graduate degree in Water Resources Planning and Management from Colorado State University and an undergraduate degree from the University of Massachusetts in Agricultural and Resource Economics. Kathleen also served in the Colorado House of Representatives for three terms\, and chaired the House Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources for five of her six years at the Capitol. She sits on the Gunnison Basin Roundtable and serves on the Colorado River District’s board of directors. \nMarsha Daughenbaugh—Marsha is part of a multi-generational ranching family\, based in the Elk River Valley near Steamboat Springs. Marsha’s professional career of over 40 years included 25+ years with USDA Farm Service Agency and 15 years as Executive Director of Community Agriculture Alliance\, a non-profit serving Northwest Colorado. She has been instrumental in developing and implementing community-based programs\, meetings\, workshops\, tours and educational opportunities that underscore the importance of agriculture to the economy and culture of Colorado. She worked closely with the Yampa-White-Green Roundtable for 12 years\, helping formulate and administer their public education and outreach programs in Moffat\, Rio Blanco and Routt Counties. Although retired from paid positions\, Marsha remains a passionate activist for agriculture\, open space\, working landscapes\, the protection of healthy\, abundant natural resources and local community. \nRob Lindner—Rob owns the Lindner Ranches near Pagosa Springs and is a researcher and project manager\, he has lived and worked globally with many collaborative groups\, and with many cultures including Indigenous Peoples. He honed his environmental and scientific basis at the University of Montana studying Wildlife Biology. Joining academic and government research projects\, he explored conflict and trade-offs in conservation. Working for NGOs like TNC and WWF\, he gained an appreciation for the power of collaboration and partnership\, and the power of GIS. He developed a fascination for and expertise in monitoring and evaluation\, in particular outcomes and impact\, at Imperial College London. Rob has experience in a wide range of sustainability topics including ecotourism\, ranching and land management\, real estate remediation and development\, conservation and community development\, and corporate sustainability. \nSajun Folsom—Sajun has been a rancher in Southwest Colorado for the last 10 years with the majority of his focus on his cow/calf operation. In 2018\, his family bought their ranch and started implementing regenerative practices that were designed to increase biodiversity and capture water. The use of swales\, ponds\, and the building of topsoil has made the ranch much more drought resistant. He is interested in seeing these practices used on much larger scales to help mitigate the effects of drought on the ecosystem and environment. \nKate Ryan (moderator)—Kate is a water lawyer and Executive Director of Colorado Water Trust. As a lawyer\, the very first case she took through water court was for the Colorado Water Trust’s Three Sisters Ditch project on Hermosa Creek. Kate’s past clients included farmers\, ranchers\, municipalities\, landowners\, the CWCB and the Water Trust itself. Before going to Berkeley Law she obtained a master’s degree in geography at the University of Colorado and worked as an associate scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center. Kate does her work at the Colorado Water Trust in order to support that which she holds most dear–our incredible state and the people within\, the beautiful rivers and mountains we explore\, and a future for her kids where they can experience a continuation of it all. \nThis in-person event will be held at the Telluride Arts District\, Gallery West\, 224 West Colorado Avenue\, Telluride\, CO. Don’t miss this chance to learn from experts and connect with fellow members of the water community! \nRegister online.
