Jordan Carr, trails director for the Telluride Mountain Club, cuts and clears a log across the singletrack trail. Carr has been hard at work since spring to clear local trails in the Telluride region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver 100, we\u2019ve cleared quite a few trees, probably over 100 on the local trails, and we haven\u2019t really even gotten up high yet \u2014 so, Highline and Hope Lake,\u201d Carr said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Telluride Mountain Club is a local outdoor recreation nonprofit. It, along with other regional organizations, works alongside the U.S. Forest Service to maintain public lands. Sophie Fabrizio, director of the Telluride Mountain Club, said nonprofits help fill the gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the major pieces of our mission is working with the Forest Service to help maintain our public recreation trails,\u201d Fabrizio said. \u201cEssentially, what we do is help fill the gaps \u2014 we have a ton of trails in this region and there\u2019s only so many Forest Service staff. We work with them to find out where they need help, and then we go ahead and clear the trails. Trees that are down, rockfall or erosion \u2014 things like that. We just kind of work with them to make sure that the trails are clear and safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonprofits allow the Forest Service to expand its reach. Megan Eno, Norwood District Ranger for the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests, said that without groups like the mountain club, miles of trails wouldn\u2019t be maintained this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur nonprofit partners help get the work done that needs to get done so that the forest is open and accessible to the public, and we wouldn\u2019t be able to do that work without them,\u201d Eno said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eno also highlighted other nonprofits that help with seasonal wildlife closures and wildfire management, noting they provide more \u201ceyes and ears on the landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think if we were to call any district or any forest in the nation, they would say nonprofit organizations and stakeholder groups are integral to the work of any public land management agency,\u201d Eno said. \u201cThose groups often serve as a voice for their respective communities and provide a way for land managers to build relationships and address common needs for the public and the forest. It&#8217;s not unusual for budgets and staffing to fluctuate in any given year, and having local partners invested in specific projects helps get those projects across the finish line faster than if the agency had to fund or staff them alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stephanie Weber is the executive director of the San Juan Mountains Association, a 37-year-old nonprofit working with several national forests in the San Juans. She said in a year, their forest ambassadors \u2014 who provide interpretive, educational and conservation information to visitors \u2014 cover over 3,600 miles of trails. With reductions in federal capacity, these nonprofit partnerships are essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn an era where we do have leadership that is considering sale of public lands, I believe it&#8217;s more important than ever to open these lands up to everyone because they are for everyone, and help them realize how incredibly special they are \u2014 the importance of taking care of them in perpetuity,\u201d Weber said. \u201cWe have a longtime volunteer who made up a T-shirt that said, \u2018Public lands are for your children\u2019s children, so take care of them.\u2019 And doesn\u2019t that really sum it up? So many of us have had wonderful experiences on these public lands, and they are precious \u2014 but they don\u2019t just belong to you or me, Mason, they belong to all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weber said the San Juan Mountains Association and others are doing what they can to keep trails accessible and ensure the best experience possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow is the time for everyone to get involved,\u201d she said. \u201cWhether it\u2019s San Juan Mountains Association, Telluride Mountain Club \u2014 every organization can use help, whether it\u2019s on the ground or financial assistance. There is a need that can be filled by everybody at this point, and our public lands need you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both organizations have regular volunteer opportunities, which can be found by searching their names online. If you see a need for local trail maintenance, Fabrizio said the Telluride Mountain Club has an online work request form available through its social media channels and website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Telluride Joins No Kings Chorus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Americans are taking to the streets on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Washington, President Donald Trump is hosting a military parade to mark the U.S. Army\u2019s 250th birthday. Across the country, organizers are planning \u201cNo Kings\u201d protests to push back on what they see as authoritarian overreach by the Trump administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a show of support for democracy, and the democracy we all care about and love and want to support,\u201d said Amy Levek, one of the organizers of Friends of Democracy Telluride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Telluride group is collaborating with Indivisible Montrose and Ouray Counties to host a \u201cNo Kings\u201d rally and march in Montrose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s going on in Washington has been shocking and difficult for a lot of people,\u201d Levek said. \u201cWe\u2019re hoping that with a good turnout, both in Montrose and the rest of the country, we can show that there\u2019s a lot of support for democracy in this country, and we\u2019re not all happy with what\u2019s coming out of Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event is set to feature speakers and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a lively event. It\u2019s going to be celebratory as well as expressive of people\u2019s viewpoints,\u201d Levek said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;No Kings&#8221; March and Rally will take place at Rotary Park in Montrose on Saturday, June 14, from 12:30 to 4 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friends of Democracy Telluride is organizing carpools to the event in Montrose.

The flood destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses, damaged critical infrastructure, and displaced thousands of residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter Gibbons, Longmont\u2019s disaster recovery officer, said the city focused on rebuilding with resilience in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo we want to take the impacts from a disaster, learn from those and say, how do we rebuild so that the same disaster does not create the same impacts again? We don&#8217;t want to rebuild infrastructure with money in the same way that it was before, meaning that infrastructure just is going to get damaged again under a similar event,\u201d Gibbons said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of its efforts, the city has expanded the river channel, removed hundreds of buildings from the floodplain, and made roads and bridges more flood-resistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other U.N.-designated Resilience Hubs include cities such as Dubai, Venice and Mexico City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DOJ Requests Colorado Election Data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The US Department of Justice ordered Colorado to turn over a trove of election data last month.
