Upper South Platte Watershed
The Coalition for the Upper South Platte (CUSP) formed in 1998, and seeks to improve and protect a watershed that covers approximately 2,600 square miles of central Colorado from the Continental Divide to Strontia Springs Reservoir, southwest of Denver. The watershed is a recreational mecca with over 1.2 million acres of public lands; it provides municipal water for about 75% of Colorado’s residents; it is renowned for its "gold-medal" fishing streams; and it is home to numerous threatened and endangered species.
