The White River Conservation Coalition, made up of groups such as Colorado Wild, the Aspen Wilderness Workshop (AWW) and the Southern Rockies Forest Network is working to protect The White River National Forest (NF) whose management plan, is undergoing revision and much scrutiny. Local and regional conservation groups have said that the White River National Forest's revised management plan, 5 years in the making and finally released today, stepped back in key
areas from the draft plan's solid first steps toward protecting the long-term health of some of Colorado's most important ecosystems.

The Aspen Wilderness Workshop is a non-profit organization dedicated towards the
protection and conservation of the natural resources of the Roaring Fork Valley, the
White River National Forest, and the greater Southern Rockies Ecosystem.

Colorado Wild's Forest Watch Campaign (FWC)
Forest Watch Campaign staff and volunteers bring decades of combined experience to bear on Forest Service decision makers. The FWC committee examines logging proposals that may threaten the ecological integrity of Colorado's forests, and comprehensively points out where the Forest Service underestimates or ignores altogether the ecological impacts of timber sales. To modify, or stop altogether, timber sales that invaded roadless areas, threaten habitat for dwindling species, or destroys Old Growth forests, the FWC committee also works to educate and involve local communities and the general public.

Southern Rockies Forest Network
The Southern Rockies Forest Network's mission is to save the last unprotected
wildlands in the Southern Rockies, and to preserve and restore native biodiversity
through advocacy, education, and legal action.
