The High Country Conservation Advocates (HCCA) water program has worked for over thirty years to protect and enhance the water resources of the Gunnison River Basin against threats from trans-mountain diversion, mining pollution, overuse and mismanagement. We engage with water users at the local level to generate good water management and regulations to protect water quality.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0PUBLIC LANDS PROGRAM From high rugged mountain faces to rolling sage brush flats, HCCA works to ensure that these special places are protected and conserved. For nearly 50 years, the Public Lands Program has played a key role in local and regional stakeholder groups,advocating for conservation within forest management, watershed planning, wildfire protection, tourism, and drought resilience efforts. HCCA advocates for conservation solutions to elected officials, government decisions makers and staff, other interested organizations, and the local community using a spectrum of tools from direct relationships, to participation in community planning processes, writing formal letters, and by publishing essays in local newspapers. We also lead collaborative efforts like the Gunnison Public Lands Initiative, which has resulted in broad stakeholders consensus to recommend protections for thousands of acres of public land-recommendations now advancing in Congress as part of the Gunnison Outdoor Resources Protection Act.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0SAVING RED LADY ON AUGUST 29,2024, HCCA achieved a final and historic victory in its 47 year fight to save Mt Emmons (locally known to locals as the Red Lady) from mining. With cooperation Mt Emmons Mining Company(MEMC) and the community, HCCA secured the following (1) an Extinguishment Agreement for the Mineral and Development Rights on 885 acres of MEMC private land on Red Lady; (2) MEMC relinquished over 1100 mining claims on public lands in Gunnison County; (3)in a Land Exchange, MEMC exchanged several properties with the USFS that would be intergral for any future mine and those properties are now public lands; (4) the Thompson Divide/Mt Emmons Mineral Withdrawal prohibits new mining for twenty years on Red Ladys public land.
