Read about our new research project! We are working with CU Boulder researchers to study the ecological benefits of a stage zero restoration project. Our management actions to improve watershed health today must continue to benefit the future. Thank you to all our partners!

Lefthand Watershed Oversight Group would like to thank Garney Construction and Left Hand Water District for helping us restore the banks of Left Hand Creek. The crew planted 1,000 trees on our 41st Street project site which will help stabilize the banks of Left Hand Creek and reduce sediment runoff downstream. 

LWOG lead the development of a Regional Stream Stewardship & Recovery Handbook designed to provide support for landowners who are implementing stewardship practices on their creek-side properties. Email Meg Parker to reserve a copy of the Handbook.

September 12, 2018 marks five years since the beginning of the floods.  This multi-day storm resulted in 17 cumulative inches of rain in Jamestown, CO and a state of emergency throughout Boulder County.  Left Hand Water District Manager, Chris Smith, and our Executive Director, Jessie Olson, share a common vision for Left Hand Creek: to move forward in a positive direction and ensure restoration and resilience in the watershed!

Our newest project involves stream restoration in Left Hand Canyon. This project includes nine sub-areas (indicated on the map linked below) and work will start soon! Check back for the Request for Proposal to be posted later this spring.
