These free resources provide easy-to-use videos and Google forms to help ease the burden that teachers and parents are facing during school closures. We are excited to continue to connect youth to science, nature and our rivers, using different platforms. Users can learn about a water droplet\u2019s journey to the river, catch up on a Brooksher Watershed Institute presentation, tour the watershed from home, or listen to a read-aloud of the children\u2019s book \u201cDee Dee the Fryingpan River Dipper.\u201d These programs are also being shared across the state through Colorado State University\u2019s National Western Center teacher listserv.

New this year was instead of it being a single day event and just focused on the Fryingpan River and Town of Basalt, we asked residents to pick up trash throughout the Roaring Fork Valley during this week. Volunteers were asked to take photos and post them to personal social media pages, tagging Roaring Fork Conservancy, and emailing them to us to be entered into a prize drawing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\"><strong>AT<\/strong>: What\u2019s the most important thing the community can do to support you?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\"><strong>RFC<\/strong>: Keep an eye on the rivers! If you see trash, please pick it up. If you are concerned about something on or around the river, or see something cool or interesting, take a picture and email it to <a href=\"mailto:info@roaringfork.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">info@roaringfork.org<\/a>. If you choose to recreate on the rivers, be safe and considerate, and, as always, leave no trace. As a nonprofit organization, we rely on monetary support from the community. This year, in the absence of our annual fundraiser, other events and most programs, your donations are more important than ever. Consider becoming a member or business member for additional benefits! Donations of any denomination are much appreciated and will be used to protect our local rivers and watershed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\"><strong>AT<\/strong>: Where can we find your most current offerings and updates?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\"><strong>RFC<\/strong>: The best place to look for our most up to date event information is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roaringfork.org\/events\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.roaringfork.org\/events<\/a>.
