Help Us Protect Our Valley

 Since 1972 the Crystal River Environmental Protection Association (CVEPA) has been fighting for the water, land, air, and rural and wilderness culture of the Crystal River Valley.  Although we are a small, volunteer organization with no paid staff, we have an impressive history of fighting to protect the incredible environment surrounding us. CVEPA stopped the development of an alpine ski area above Marble, helped to oversee the reclamation of a major coal mine, helped prevent a proposed dam from destroying the upper Crystal River Valley, and continuously works to ensure public access to public lands around the valley.  


We hope your mission matches ours. Dues start at $20 per year.  Visit our Join Us page and complete the New Membership Form and/or sign-up for our Newsletter. 

We'd be happy to have you join us!

When is a reservoir not a reservoir? Thoughts on Mobley’s Corral and the Crystal Augmentation Plan

The headline on Heather Sackett’s recent coverage of the Crystal Augmentation Study caught my eye: “Janeway site promising for Crystal River backup water supply.” (See Aspen Times, July 22, 2023 or www.aspenjournalism.org) For those of you not following this study, the West Divide Water Conservancy District (WDWCD) and the Colorado River Water Conservation District (CRWCD) are looking for water storage options to sate the thirst of residential subdivisions along the river itself.  


One of CVEPA’s proudest environmental victories was achieved with strong support from Pitkin County and others when WDWCD and CRWCD were compelled in 2012 to abandon their dream of a storage reservoir on the main stem of the Crystal River.
