BEF’s Water Restoration Certificate® program provided critical funding to support the Colorado Water Trust’s efforts to work with the City to design, structure, test and monitor the project so it could restore water to the river just as flows dropped below critical thresholds necessary to maintain fish, wildlife and water quality. In the pilot year of this agreement the project in total restored more than 140 million gallons of water to this thirsty river—roughly half of which was directly supported by the collective contributions of Patagonia, Clif Bar, New Belgium, White Wave Foods and Ted’s Montana Grill.
