The Lower Blue Cooperative Management Plan is a cooperative effort to develop a strategic framework for protecting the natural and aesthetic resources of the lower Blue River. The plan will include the lower Blue corridor, from Reservoir to the confluence with the Colorado River, in Grand and Summit Counties.
A draft plan has been developed by a group of stakeholders including representatives from various organizations and citizen groups. Links to this Plan and accompanying documents are provided below:
