Organizations in Colorado working toward equity in the outdoors:

Events:

• 10/2-3 Denver and Online – Equity in Conservation and Outdoor Recreation (E.C.O.R.) Summit for Action. The 2025 Equity in Conservation and Outdoor Recreation (E.C.O.R.) Summit for Action invites you to embark on a transformative journey at the intersection of equity, inclusion, and the great outdoors. Our two-day event is a call to action, bringing together thought leaders, activists, practitioners, and community members to engage in profound discussions about the vital role of environmental justice in conservation and outdoor recreation movements.
• 10/28-10/29 Denver – Everyone Outdoors Colorado (formerly Next 100 Colorado) Annual Convening. This year’s theme is “Rooted in Resilience: Shaping What’s Possible.” Together, we’ll explore how resilience—grounded in community and shared purpose—can drive bold visions for the future of our lands, waters, and outdoor spaces. This year’s convening will feature inspiring stories, collaborative workshops, and opportunities for collective action. We’ll celebrate the strength of our work, imagine what’s possible when everyone has a place in the outdoors and officially unveil our new brand! If you’re interested in attending or have any questions, contact Modesta McGrath-Martínez.
• 11/5 Denver and 11/5-12 Virtual – Wild and Scenic Film Festival. Rocky Mountain Wild is excited to be bringing The Wild & Scenic Film Festival back to Denver and live in your living room! You can either live stream the festival with whoever you are staying safe at home with on your own time, or you can join us for a showing at The Bug Theatre in Denver. The evening will include award-winning environmental films, which have been selected not only for their great visual stories but also to inspire and motivate us to become or remain in right relationship with each other and the planet. This film festival is made by activists for activists and sits apart from the hundreds of festivals around the world by leaving you inspired and motivated to go out and make a difference in your community and the world.

Community Science Projects:

Can’t commit to the Colorado Pika Patrol project? The Pika Patrol App allows you to record observations of American pikas wherever you find them!

Colorado Bat Watch was developed by Rocky Mountain Wild in collaboration with bat experts from the U.S. Forest Service, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Colorado Natural Heritage Program, and the North American Bat Monitoring Program. This program recruits and engages community scientists to collect data that will enable these agencies to monitor bat species over time and better understand the impacts of white-nose syndrome and other threats on local bat populations.

In the summer months, volunteer community scientists on the Boreal Toad Conservation Team help us to search the mountain wetlands of Colorado for this hard-to-find amphibian. The data us and our volunteers gather in this projects informs CPW’s management of boreal toads, identifies future sites for wild reintroduction, and uncovers unknown populations (and we hope even ‘super-toads’ that may have natural resistance to chytrid fungus).
