Testimonials from our Members

“My husband and I are long-time supporters of Yampa Valley Sustainability Council (YVSC). For years, the organization has been providing vital recycling information and opportunities in our community. Currently, YVSC has taken the lead in addressing climate change and promoting the actions we can take locally to fight climate change NOW.”

Arianthe Stettner

“I am a YVSC sustaining donor because I believe it is crucial to support community organizations backed by science and collaboration that can move us forward in addressing climate change at this critical time.”

Carolina Manriquez

“ Participating as volunteers in the Yampa Valley Sustainability Council’s reforestation project helped give us a better understanding of the massive effort needed to replace devastated forests following periods of wildfire activity. YVSC’s important work with the Forest Service is a perfect example of collaboration within the community and we encourage others to join the effort!”

Rob and Ellen Race
