Friends of Loveland Reservoir is a dedicated group of community members passionate about preserving and enhancing the natural beauty and ecological health of Loveland Reservoir. Our board members all reside in the community of Alpine and are united by a shared commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement. With expertise in areas such as real estate, military and nonprofit leadership, biology and education, we work collaboratively to protect this vital resource for future generations. Together, we strive to foster a deeper connection between our community and the environment, promoting sustainable practices and ensuring that Loveland Reservoir remains a cherished place for all to enjoy. Join us as we work to make a positive impact on our environment and our community!
Our mission is to use education and activism to encourage the restoration and protection of Loveland Reservoir. We envision a restored environmental and recreational minimum pool where plants, animals, and people thrive.
FOLR was formed to address the lack of adherence to the easement at Loveland Reservoir given to the public through a land swap between the Sweetwater Authority and the US Forest Service in 1996. FOLR strives to bring awareness to this injustice and advocate for full restoration and adherence to the terms of the easement. We also strive to work with various agencies to bring improvements to Loveland Reservoir through volunteers, grants, and donations.
We invite you to join us for our quarterly hikes where we’ll share our insights about the Loveland ecosystem. Spend a fun-filled morning discovering the birds, animals, and fish that inhabit this beautiful area. If you haven’t explored Loveland yet, this is the perfect opportunity to learn about the Reservoir and all it has to offer. Please come prepared to spend an hour with us: wear closed-toe shoes and a hat, bring a reusable drink container, and don’t forget to apply sunscreen before we set off. We’re excited to connect with you and answer any questions you might have!
