Green River Roadshow

JACKSON, WY—TU’s “Green with Envy” roadshow launches this week, highlighting Flaming Gorge Reservoir and Green River fisheries and the potentially adverse effects of the proposed Million Pipeline. Under the proposal, 81 billion gallons of water would be diverted annually from the Reservoir and the Green River causing a domino effect of negative impacts to local fisheries and economies. As reported last week, FERC recently killed entrepreneur Aaron Million’s initial permit pitch, calling it “premature.” Million, however, has promised to continue soliciting bids.

“A proposed pipeline to divert billions of gallons of water from Wyoming and Utah to Colorado’s Front Range threatens more than the world-class trout fishing in the Green River and Flaming Gorge Reservoir. It poses a threat to a series of small communities and a way of life. This video from TU and the Sportsmen’s Conservation Project shows why.”

Upcoming show stops include Laramie, Cheyenne, Casper, Fort Collins, Park City, and Durango. Click here for schedule details. Preview the film, below.
