Public Lands Stewardship Initiatives

GARNA’s public lands stewardship initiatives honor GARNA’s roots as a cooperating association with the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and the cities, towns and counties of the Upper Arkansas Valley. GARNA manages groups of volunteers in the Upper Arkansas River valley including the Upper Arkansas Wilderness Volunteers, Friends of Fourmile, and the Chaffee Rec Adopters. Each year, over 300 hardworking volunteers clean, maintain and improve the health of the watershed.
