Every year, the Yampa Valley Sustainability Council (YVSC) recognized local business, organizations, and community members for their efforts and work towards creating a more sustainable future. Congratulations to Steamboat Springs Parks & Recreation on being recognized as Partner of the Year for their continued work on the Yampa River Forest Restoration Program.
