WHAT WE DO

We’re fighting for the health of our valley and the people who live here.

Any spill will contaminate our water and therefore our food.

Pipeline failures threaten the safety or campsites and trails in our region.

Protecting the future of hunting and fishing in our area from fracking…

OUR GOAL

To prevent this beautiful, unique, and organic agricultural hub of Colorado  from becoming a large-scale heavily industrialized zone of oil and gas operations.

Water is Life,
by Beth Quist

There are 1.4 oil and gas related spills a day in Colorado. 12% of spills result in water contamination.  -Center For Western Priorities

  • Please keep the NFV healthy. It's taken many years to rid the soils from DDT poison used as a pesticide before I moved to Hotchkiss in 1971. Please keep oil & gas leasing on any Land out of this pristine area of CO.

  • I am a chef who cooks locally and requires pristine organic environments to source my food from, without these natural spaces, our food and balance of life are put in jeopardy.

    Merrick S.

  • Thank you [BLM] so much for taking our input. This means a lot to us, and the future of Colorado, for my son's generation, for his children and for generations to come. Please work hard to focus on harnessing renewable energy and we will be there to support you.

    Julie B.

  • Please let us live in the valley we have chosen for our home free of fear of damages that have occurred in other areas of Colorado and in other states.

    Sandra G.

  • It is truly a little piece of heaven for so many citizens and visitors alike. [Oil and gas development] would destroy the local economy and a place that so many rely on for rest.

    Nancy R.

  • It's intangible value and real economic value to the people who live here is worth more than extracting everything you can from below the ground while you ruin everything above it. Please consider not leasing this area to development. There are conservation programs everywhere here that would pay to NOT develop the land.
