The increasing risk of wildfire and prolonged droughts in Colorado has the potential to cause significant damage to local drinking water supplies and cause major disruption to operations at our Golden Brewery. To mitigate this, in 2014 MillerCoors, PepsiCo and Wells Fargo provided a $1 million grant to The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to restore forests and protect water security across the state. Together with a coalition of governmentagencies, water providers, nonprofit organizations, fire protection districts and academic institutions, we formed the Upper South Platte Partnership (USPP), which works to minimize the threat of wildfires andprotect watersheds in the region. After five years, the project has been a proven success. The teams have reduced forest density from an average 359 trees per acre to 88 to reduce the likelihood of an active crown fire with severe effects. It�s a result we�re proud of, but when it comes to water health, the job is never done. In fact, the project�s success has only served to strengthen our commitment, which is why we pledged a further $50,000 to TNC in 2018 to continue to support this important initiative
