Forests to Faucets professional development for educators to be held June 4th- 5th at Fort Lewis College A free, professional development workshop for teachers and educators will be offered June 4th-5th, 2026 at Fort Lewis College. This workshop: Forests to Faucets: My Water Comes from the San Juan Mountains is offered in partnership by Mountain Studies Institute, San Juan Mountains Association, and Water Information Program. Participating teachers will have the opportunity to wear the “student hat” as they explore relevant topics in forest health and water ecology. Teachers will sample place-based field trips, will do hands-on activities, and learn from water professionals, all of which they can bring back to their students and classrooms next fall. All participants will receive free lunch, a shared drive of all teaching materials, a kit of classroom materials, and a certificate for 16 hours of professional development. Drought and water shortages are quickly becoming prominent issues facing our youth. Through this workshop, teachers will gain skills to help their students understand our water future through fun, interactive ways! Among the expert speakers presenting at the workshop will be staff from the City of Durango. Teachers will learn first-hand about current measures the city treats and manages our water supply. Registration is at https://www.mountainstudies.org/foreststofaucets and requires a $50 deposit, which will be refunded after completion of the workshop. Please direct all questions to jewell@mountainstudies.org. Registration closes May 22nd, 2026.

The Durango Betties, Durango’s adult women’s hockey team, will face off against the Durango Area Youth Hockey (DAYHA) Girls U19 Team in the 2nd annual Women’s Hockey Classic game on Saturday, March 7 to raise funds to grow the youth program. This event is more than just an exciting hockey game, it’s a chance to invest in a stronger future for girls in our community through the power of sport. Team sports, like hockey, provide more than just physical activity. They teach resilience, teamwork, confidence, and leadership — skills that extend far beyond the rink and into every aspect of life. When you empower a girl through sport, you empower her for life. Girls who play team sports are: ● More likely to graduate and pursue higher education. ● More confident in leadership roles and professional settings. ● More resilient in facing life’s challenges. This is reflected in the diverse players on both the Girls U19 and Betties team. The Girls U19 team is comprised of middle school and high school students who include a junior class president, National honor society members, and school leaders. Some have just started playing hockey this year while others have been playing for over 11 years. The Betties team have players who have played hockey for over 25 years and are mothers, business owners, a national company president, and non-profit executive director. The 2nd Annual Women’s Hockey Classic fundraiser will be held on March 7, 2026 at Chapman Hill Ice Rink from 5 - 7 pm. Beer/wine tent and silent auction will open at 4:30 pm. Tickets are $7/adults and $5/kids. For more information about the fundraiser, please contact Kelly Quach at kellyquach5@gmail.com
