April brings with it the spirit of renewal—and a powerful reminder of our shared responsibility to care for the Earth. In honor of Environmental Education Week (April 20 - April 26) REACH is spotlighting the inspiring local efforts that are helping protect and preserve our natural world. From community-led cleanups to youth outdoor education programs, Coloradans are stepping up to nurture the environment in meaningful ways.

This month, we're celebrating the educators, advocates, and everyday champions who are fostering a deeper connection to nature and building a more sustainable future for all. In this issue, you’ll find highlights of local initiatives, resources to get involved, and stories that show how environmental education is empowering communities across our state.

Together, let’s keep REACHing for a greener, healthier, and more connected Colorado.

From park cleanups and nature walks to educational workshops and volunteer days, there are so many ways to make a difference locally. 👉 Check out the events happening near you and bring a friend! Let’s show up, learn together, and take action for a cleaner, greener Colorado.

Wrap up this season of C-Suite Access in the great outdoors! Join us for a unique professional development experience where we trade conference rooms for Colorado rivers. In partnership with Community Fly Fishing, this immersive session offers insight into how access to nature builds stronger, more connected communities—and how each of us can be part of that impact.

Network with purpose, hear inspiring stories of leadership and equity in outdoor spaces, and try your hand at fly fishing (no experience necessary!).
