Agriculture is a key part of the legacy of our valley and is critical to maintaining the ecology of our watershed. Water rights make agriculture possible, but they are wildly complex and contentious. Greg Felt, General Manager and CEO of the Upper Arkansas Water Conservancy District, will talk about how water rights work to preserve our rural economy and ecology.
GARNA’s community and youth programs empower people with the skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience to connect with and care for the environment. We focus on building relationships – with ourselves, with each other, and with the land – through meaningful experiences and shared learning. By combining empowerment with connections, we help foster a deep sense of responsibility that goes beyond our programs, inspiring lifelong stewardship and active participation in protecting the ecosystems we all depend on.
Many GARNA programs require a Liability Release Form be filled out each calendar year.
