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 Friday’s news, including the election results for Holy Cross Energy's Board of Directors. And with new restrictions around federal food assistance, democrats are trying to shore up SNAP’s future. Also, a Roaring Fork United assistant soccer coach is arrested for sexually assaulting minors. Meanwhile, Senator Michael Bennet goes rafting down the Dolores to keep protections for the river on lawmakers' minds.
