The Dolores River bends through a narrow canyon. Dozens of stakeholders have been working to protect the Dolores as a National Conservation Area, or NCA. Some rivers are protected by Congress under The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, but protection as an NCA is less controversial, especially among agricultural interests.

The Dolores River bends through a narrow canyon. Dozens of stakeholders have been working to protect the Dolores as a National Conservation Area, or NCA. Some rivers are protected by Congress under The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, but protection as an NCA is less controversial, especially among agricultural interests.

KDNK's Morgan Neely brings listeners Wednesday's news, including the Biden Administration getting ramped up to lease hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands in our region to oil and gas companies. And, we explore measures dozens of stakeholders are pursuing to protect the Dolores River. Plus, an Aspen nonprofit is giving out half a million dollars to fund climate solutions.
