Cattle Creek has a problem. The stream crosses under Highway 82 at the Cattle Creek intersection southeast of Glenwood Springs, and there are signs it’s not healthy. Heather Lewin is Watershed Action Director with the Roaring Fork Conservancy. The organization recently started a study to figure out what’s wrong in the creek. Aspen Public Radio’s Elise Thatcher talks with Heather Lewin.
The Conservancy's study is paid for by Garfield County, and today Commissioners will consider more funding for the study. It's scheduled to end in the fall, and will include meetings with interested parties.
