The San Miguel River is a relatively free-flowing river with high quality riparian communities. The Lower Dolores River includes portions of the river both above and below the San Miguel confluence including Disappointment Creek. Over 60 rare species, plant communities, and ecological systems are found within this area. These targets were chosen in the Southern Rocky Mountain and Colorado Plateau ecoregional assessments. Some of the conservation targets are in need of restoration especially the Gunnison sage grouse. The San Miguel River riparian areas are being eradicated of tamarisk and other woody invasives.The long term conservation vision for the San Miguel/Lower Dolores River conservation area is the conservation of dynamically functioning river systems with healthy riparian and aquatic communities. The upland systems should support a stable population of Gunnison sage grouse and Gunnison prairie dogs. This vision includes working in partnership with local communities and public entities to incorporate compatible economic and cultural interests within these watersheds into the long-term conservation of their biodiversity. Core planning team consisted of Mallory Dimmitt, Terri Schulz, Chris Pague, Dave Gann, Lisa Modica, and Tom Iseman. The expanded planning team also included CNHP (Peggy Lyon), San Miguel interns (Liz and Michael), and other TNC staff (Charles Bedford, Heidi Sherk, Jeff Parrish, Betsy Neely, Steve Kettler, Audrey Wolk, and Nancy Smith). In the future this plan will be shown to partners and feedback encorporated. In addition, the program has committed to getting the measures incorporated into the local community. The first step in that process has begun with a grant application to a local foundation to fund a measures report for a portion of the site - the San Miguel watershed.
