PANEL DISCUSSION

“We know that water is sacred. We also know that water is alive.” Lorelei Cloud, member of the Southern Ute Tribe and the first Indigenous person to chair the Colorado Water Conservation Board, grew up hauling water to her home. Johnny Le Coq, an avid fly fisher, combined his passion with his design skills to start Fishpond, a Colorado-based fly fishing and outdoor gear company. Their different backgrounds meet at the Colorado River, and they share a mission to protect it. Join the Roaring Fork Conservancy and The Nature Conservancy for a special installment of the Brooksher Watershed Institute. Special Guest Ramsey Kropf will emcee a lively evening featuring Lorelei and Johnny in a conversation about Tribal engagement in the Colorado River basin.
