The mission of the Blue River Watershed Group is to promote, protect and restore a healthy Blue River watershed through cooperative community education, stewardship, and resource management.
The Blue River Watershed Group (BRWG) was founded in 2004 by a group of local community members who were passionate about protecting and preserving the health of the Blue River Basin. Our mission is to promote, protect, and restore a healthy Blue River watershed through cooperative community education, stewardship, and resource management. We focus on the entire watershed, which drains an area of about 680 square miles covering all of Summit County and portions of Grand and Lake Counties. Join us in our mission to restore and protect the Blue River, a vital tributary of the Colorado River.

In 2024, BreckF3T provided funding for the Explorium staff to include lessons about basic fly fishing technique and lessons about water quality and macroinvertebrates into four different lesson blocks throughout the summer. In total, approximately 175 unique campers participated in both lessons of fly
