2020 ANNUAL REPORT
FROM THE PRESIDENT & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
2020 was a year of upheaval. Facing a global pandemic, we feared for our lives and those of our loved ones. Trips were cancelled, plans postponed. Economic challenges from the periods of shutdown translated to major financial setbacks for individuals, and uncertainty for organizations like Water Education Colorado.
As we quarantined under stay-at-home orders that stretched into long months of limited contact, traditional connections with our professional networks were severed. At the same time, across our nation there was political upset, protests, and the elevation of underrepresented voices calling for justice and equity…and being heard.
On the water front, drought once again plagued our state, and the work to manage demands, creatively protect and share water, negotiate among states and users, and update and fund the state water plan continued.
As an organization, we brought this context to our work. We strived to elevate water as a critical issue among a wider audience of Coloradans through our publications and reporting, and to build connection among those attending our leadership programs, workshops, conference and tours through innovative virtual approaches.
Our new strategic plan, adopted at the outset of 2020, has continued to guide our priorities, which include achieving equity and access in water education programming, as well as tackling the tough conversations to help pave the way to broad-based solutions.
There may be no easy solutions, but we believe that where the will and commitment are present, and the care and consideration for others is genuine, we can achieve great things together. A vibrant, sustainable, and water-aware Colorado is no exception.
Thank you so much for sticking with us through a tough year. It turned out to be full of opportunity and new learning experiences. Look out for the 2021 President’s Reception in September and Sustaining Colorado Watersheds conference, “Together Like Never Before,” in October. The theme says it all—we can’t wait to see you, and to keep forging ahead together in this critical work!

OUR EDUCATION & LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
Our education and leadership programs foster a connected and engaged network of informed Coloradans and equip our leaders to advance collaborative solutions for Colorado water.
Adapting Programs in a Pandemic
The WEco team confronted pandemic-related challenges head-on, finding new, accessible ways to connect with our community and even expand our audience through adapting programs and events into creative virtual formats.
Water Leaders
The 2020 Water Leaders Program was held through a combination of in-person and virtual settings, using advanced development tools to help participants become more skilled and effective leaders.
16 participants
“Our class all struggled with pandemic-related personal and professional issues, but Water Leaders was our safe space to express those frustrations and fears. I can honestly say that Water Leaders was the best professional, and one of the best personal, experiences that I have ever had.” — Bethany Howell, 2020 Water Leaders graduate
Water Fluency
Despite uncertainty around the all-virtual format, the 2020 Water Fluency class, which focused on case studies from Southwestern Colorado, provided some of the most positive feedback on program value to date.
36 participants
“Water Education Colorado will serve as a huge resource for advancing my knowledge of all things water. I intend to utilize this information in decision making and as a tool in my role in local government.”
Sustaining Colorado Watersheds Conference
Together with our partners, the Colorado Riparian Association and Colorado Watershed Assembly, we hosted our first virtual conference, “Business as (Un)Usual.” The theme focused on work that challenges the status quo and incorporates different perspectives around any given issue.
250+ participants
94% stated they would recommend the conference
Urban Water Cycle Tours
The 2020 Denver Urban Water Cycle Tour was held in a virtual, self-guided format, focusing on a section of the South Platte River in metro Denver. The Pedal the Poudre Tour was held before Covid became a limiting factor and showcased a route from Bellvue through Fort Collins along the Cache la Poudre River.
Denver: 27 participants, Poudre: 61 participants
OUR LAND USE & WATER CONNECTION
This training series provided a unique opportunity to advance a proven water solution through awareness and knowledge building.
As Colorado’s population continues to rapidly expand, the integration of development, or land use planning, with water management is a key strategy for growing water-smart communities. In the early part of the fiscal year, before Covid-19 was even on our radar, WEco had the opportunity to partner with the Colorado Water Conservation Board and Babbitt Center for Land and Water Policy, as well as the Getches-Wilkinson Center for Natural Resources, Energy, and the Environment, to offer free trainings focused on incorporating land use practices into water efficiency plans.
The trainings were offered as a series of webinars and workshops hosted around the state, and featured a deep dive into a previously developed guidance document, local case studies, discussion among participants, and question-and-answer sessions with the presenters.
The trainings resulted in a number of recommendations WEco delivered along with partners to the CWCB, based on participant feedback regarding barriers and opportunities to achieve success.
“It's always great connecting with others in the field and this was a great introduction to the guidance document. Listening to the speakers gave me an opportunity to really think about my community's approach and raised some good questions to ponder.”

Our Commitment to Equity
In January 2020, WEco’s Board of Trustees adopted a set of equity principles as well as a new strategic plan that includes the commitment to view all programmatic decisions through an equity lens.
These steps are in line with our organizational value that “Information is for All,” which asserts our responsibility to ensure our programs and services are accessible to anyone who wants to understand and engage.
In working to remove barriers to participation, we published our firstever issue of Headwaters in Spanish in 2020 and have raised funds to produce a Spanish version of one Citizen’s Guide in 2021.
New pricing structures, alternate program times, and new partnerships to fund expanded scholarship opportunties are a few of the strategies we have used and continue to pursue in our commitment to working to achieve increased equity. This will continue to evolve as we learn what is most needed.

OUR STATEWIDE EDUCATION LEADERSHIP
We enhance the amount, quality and effectiveness of water education across Colorado through professional development, shared practice and collective action.
Water Educator Network
Since 2014, WEco has led the Water Educator Network, an affiliate group for education and outreach professionals. Through WEN, educators reaching a diversity of audiences and geographies gain acces to tools, trainings, resources and co-collaborators to advance their practice. 2020 offerings included the annual water festival coordinators gathering and WEN Symposium, Project WET trainings, and a special webinar on inclusive civic engagement in a pandemic.
93 participants
Statewide Water Education Action Plan
Between 2018-2019, WEco led development of the Statewide Water Education Action Plan (SWEAP) to serve as a common agenda for water education’s role in achieving sustainable water for Colorado by 2050 via the Colorado Water Plan. SWEAP officially launched in January 2020, and in its first year of implementation gained significant momentum through the enrollment of 40 endorsing entities and dozens of co-implementers committed to advancing SWEAP outcomes.
SWEAP includes 10 outcomes along a continuum from awareness building to knowledge and skills development to behavior change and, lastly, to systems change. A series of guiding principles and Critical Water Concepts are also foundational in the plan, which WEco will use to guide the Water Educator Network in telling a common story and achieving collective impact by 2025 that: “Coloradans are engaged in well-informed community discourse and decision making regarding balanced water solutions, and are empowered to take thoughtful action regarding critical water challenges facing the state and their communities.”

OUR CONTENT & REPORTING
Our content and reporting cultivates a water-aware community that is committed to helping secure a sustainable water future and quality of life for Colorado.
Six Feet in Solidarity
During 2020’s early quarantine period, WEco continued sharing valuable educational resources that could still be accessed as everything else was shutting down. We focused on opportunities to “build your knowledge from a distance,” highlighting our vast library of magazines, blog posts, radio programs, webinar recordings, and more.
15,786 combined reach
Headwaters Magazine
In 2020, we published three successful issues of our flagship publication, featuring the topics of Colorado River Basin drought contingency plans, environmental justice and water, and aging water infrastructure. We also offered complimentary content to dig in deeper to the issues via blog posts, webinars and our first-ever podcast, produced in partnership with American Rivers.
115,314 combined reach
Citizen’s Guides
The Citizen’s Guide series features in-depth, peer-reviewed information on critical water topics, and in 2020 we updated our library with a 2nd edition to the guide to Where Your Water Comes From, a 3rd edition to the guide to Colorado Water Quality Protection and a brand-new guide to Colorado Groundwater.
3,872 print guides distributed, with thousands more online reads
Fresh Water News
WEco launched the Fresh Water News (FWN) initiative in 2018 to provide timely, insightful reporting on issues that are critical to helping the state and its citizens develop a sustainable water future. In 2020, FWN covered relevant topics like Colorado River drought studies, new federal regulations, and pandemic-related water impacts, as well as tracked water legislation, evolving drought conditions, and efforts to secure water plan funding. Additionally, FWN partnered with PBS’ This American Land to bring stories about agricultural water conservation research, riparian reforestation, and water export schemes to life.

SPOTLIGHT
Anne Castle
As an integral volunteer with WEco, Anne has mentored a Water Leader, provided input and review for multiple Citizen’s Guides, presented to our Water Fluency Program, and served as lead presenter for the Water Efficiency and Land Use workshops and webinars. Thank you, Anne!
“’Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.’ The words of Nelson Mandela reveal the reason why I and so many others in the Colorado water community support the work of Water Education Colorado. Providing an improved and more thorough understanding of how water works in our state gives us as Coloradans the ability to make and support better decisions about how we use water and how we want it to sustain our unmatched landscape. I’ve been happy to contribute to WEco’s work. — Anne Castle, Senior Fellow, Getches-Wilkinson Center, University of Colorado | Founding Member, Water Policy Group
