CONSERVATION
Wild Connections' vision for the South Platte and Arkansas Rivers headwaters basins is found in the Wild Connections Conservation Plan (WCCP). This visionary plan was created by citizens using information from roadless area inventories, biological data and input from local workshops.
This regional ecosystem protection strategy forges a link in the Western Wildway promoted by The Wildlands Network, part of the unbroken chain of North American wildlands.
