The Colorado Outdoor Stewardship Coalition, a group of representatives from nonprofit organizations and public land agencies, works to further outdoor stewardship in Colorado. Hosted by Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (www.voc.org), the Coalition has been working since 2010 to organize Stewardship Forums, write reports on the collective impact of volunteer stewardship, and plan Outdoor Stewardship Day, an educational day at the State Capitol.
