Roaring Fork Conservancy: "The Roaring Fork Conservancy was founded in November of 1996 as an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring people to explore, value, and protect the Roaring Fork Watershed. The Conservancy addresses environmental concerns about the Roaring Fork River and its corridors that extend from Independence Pass to Glenwood Springs where it joins the Colorado River."
Vail Daily News: "Men and women will brave the wet, cold weather in attempt to remove a noxious weed from our valley starting this week and continuing for about a month. They're going after tamarisk trees, a native of Asia that is now wreaking havoc on our American ecosystem. 'They crowd out everything,' said Caroline Bradford, director of the Eagle River Watershed Council. 'There's no diversity. It's so thick you can't even walk through it. We don't like that.' Bradford added that when the 'tams' take over tracts of land, they consume or eliminate so many of the available resources, there isn't anything left for the native plants and animals to live on."
