Supports Obama's "Great Outdoors" conservation ethic
The Rocky Mountain Arsenal visitor center and three conservation initiatives will further showcase the natural beauty we are fortunate to live in. We are creating partnerships and leveraging the state and nation's intellect and creativity to
build and protect our natural heritage. President Obama's America's Great Outdoors initiative seeks to work with local communities to create a new conservation and recreation ethic for the 21st Century.

Water policy: Collaboration, Conservation and Capacity
Collaboration, Conservation and Capacity for the Future. Water is central to the health of our economy, our environment, and our future. The way we use and manage our water remains one of the biggest challenges facing our state. The basic facts of water
supply and demand are sobering. When it comes to water and our economy, we are one great state, not a loose confederation of regions. Across all issues, from water to jobs, a Governor has to be sensitive to the needs of each basin community. Colorado's
governor has a special responsibility to see that the whole state benefits from our wise use of water resources.We need to understand that water is critically important to every part of the state. We must continue to develop processes that allow
resolution of the many conflicts over water that exist across the state, bringing individuals, communities, businesses, organizations together to work out comprehensive solutions.
