E19: Road Trip! Dolores River Canyon Country with Bella Harris of Colorado Wildlands Project
Description
We already have one national monument nearby...what if we had another? Bella Harris of the Colorado Wildlands Project explains why her organization is advocating for the creation of a National Monument for the Dolores River Canyon Country, not only to protect the natural environment, but also to preserve and honor the layers of human history of the area.
Bella explains why land protections for the Dolores have bipartisan support when so little does today. We chat about the most effective ways to change bad outdoors behavior, why no one with water allotments needs to be worried about losing water, and why she’s not concerned about a monument designation “ruining” the area.
Also – listen closely to find out which local winery is extra invested in the effort to protect the Dolores, how you can help, and lots more!
