Mountain and environmental news from Summit Voice.
SUMMIT COUNTY — We slow down the flow of stories a bit on Summit Voice during the weekend, but we don’t stop altogether, so it’s always good to recap the weekend headlines, including last Friday’s late-breaking news that two of the biggest conservation groups in Colorado will merge to form a new organization, Conservation Colorado.
We also reported on the monthly and year-end weather stats (the water year runs from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30), and reported on Gov. Hickenlooper’s upcoming visit to Summit County.
