Conservation Committee Mission – The Denver Conservation Committee
works in conjunction with the CMC Conservation Department. We are volunteers
from the Denver Group who work on projects and issues to preserve public lands
and the responsible enjoyment of those lands.
Pike National Forest – In addition to Front Range Roadless area,
many other Denver Group activities are on the Pike Forest. This forest is under
considerable threat from over-recreation, motorized use, adjacent private
development, and fuel thinning. Denver Conservation works with UASPP (Upper
Arkansas & South Platte Project) for protection of the Pike forest. Our
goal is preservation of it’s wild and scenic character and wildlife
habitat.
Arapahoe National Forest – This forest is another primary area
where Denver Group activities occur. We currently are interested in a volunteer
willing to work on issues related to the Arapahoe Forest.
