Our Partners
The AWP is a diverse, grassroots group of individuals from Colorado, New Mexico, the Southern Ute Tribe, the Ute Mountain Ute tribe, and governmental agency representatives – in short, anyone interested in collaborating across boundaries toward the protection and improvement of water resources in the Animas Watershed.
The AWP Steering Committee guides the partnership’s day to day efforts. The Steering Committee supervises the Partnership Coordinator and is responsible for hosting full Partnership meetings, shepherding the strategic direction of the AWP, approving grant applications and projects, and any hiring decisions. The Steering Committee is comprised of 8 representatives from New Mexico, Colorado, and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe.
In addition to individuals, AWP has partnered with many entities on projects, including: San Juan Watershed Group, City of Farmington, City of Durango, San Juan Water Commission, Southern Ute Tribe Water Quality Division, Southwest Water Conservation District, Animas River Stakeholders Group, CO Riverwatch, CO NPS, Trout Unlimited, San Juan Citizens Alliance, Mountain Studies Institute, La Plata Conservation District and the San Juan RC&D.
