The Eagle Valley Outdoor Stewardship Coalition (EVOSC) formed in 2019 as a way to facilitate communication between land and trail managers and outdoor recreation organizations. The purpose of the coalition is to build relationships and partnerships for efficient management of public lands and outdoor recreation.
EVOSC is made up of partner organizations that have a specific scope and mission related to outdoor recreation, safety and/or stewardship. These partner organizations facilitate discussions on a needs basis and then use these conversations to best serve the community regarding matters of outdoor recreation, local wildlife, and/or public lands.
EVOSC understands the important role outdoor recreation plays in Eagle County. As Eagle County continues to grow in population size and more people participate in outdoor recreation, natural resources will continue to experience increasing amounts of strain. EVOSC recognizes the conflation of these trends and aims to develop best practices and guidelines for fostering sustainable outdoor recreation.
