Colorado, Thompson Divide

The mission of The Thompson Divide Coalition is to secure permanent protection from oil and gas development on Federal lands in the Thompson Divide Area including the Thompson Creek and Four Mile Creek watersheds, as well as portions of the Muddy Basin, Coal Basin and the headwaters of East Divide Creek.

To support its mission, TDC is seeking federal legislation that will preserve current activities in the area, but will permanently withdraw the Thompson Divide Area from availability for future leasing.

Ecoflight flew the area to see what's at stake, and what's worth protecting. You can join the effort to protect this watershed so important to surrounding communities for its clean water, wildlife habitat, grazing and recreational values at: www.savethompsondivide.org.
