Imagine a day with no water in Lake Dillon, with stream flows too low to support wildlife. Water is not only essential to life, it’s an integral piece of our mountain lifestyle – from the places we play to the beer we drink. To raise awareness of this precious resource, water providers across Summit County will offer facility tours on and around October 10. Learn about where your water comes from and how water providers bring this precious resource from the stream to your home.

Previously known as the Tim McClure Benefit, Party for the Planet is HC3’s largest fundraiser of the year. We invite you to celebrate with local brews, music by Beau Thomas and a huge silent auction, all to support this amazing place we call home.
Join us Friday, March 6 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Breckenridge and be ready to celebrate.
Learn more about the event on our official Party for the Planet page.
Why the new name?
Party for the Planet is held in honor of HC3’s founder, Tim McClure. Not only did Tim start Summit’s first recycling program in 1976, he was a pioneer whose conservation ethic still exists today.
HC3 will honor Tim’s legacy with a new individual achievement award. And, the new event name – Party for the Planet – celebrates HC3’s work in climate action, water conservation and more. We hope you’ll join us on Friday, March 6 to party for the planet. It all takes place thanks to generous in-kind donations from Vail Resorts’ EpicPromise and presenting sponsorship from BGV Gives.

The Silverthorne Recycling Center is open to the public, however the Grand Opening Celebration and Recycling Q&A has been postponed. A new date will be selected this spring/summer.
===============================
Join Summit County Government, Denver Water, and local towns for the grand opening of the new Silverthorne Recycling Center. HC3 staff will be on site to answer recycling questions and give away free compost buckets.
The Silverthorne Recycling Center is located at 0255 River Road in Silverthorne, adjacent to the Blue River Ball Fields, which are near the Outlets at Silverthorne. The drop-off center is similar to those in Breckenridge and Frisco. Materials accepted include plastic bottles #1 & #2, aluminum and tin, cardboard, mixed paper, milk and juice cartons, clear glass, colored glass, batteries, scrap metal, and food scraps. See a map of all recycling centers here.
The Silverthorne Recycling Center is a Summit County Strong Future Initiative.
Recycling Q&A at The Baker’s Brewery
Following the event, HC3 staff will answer recycling questions from 5-6 p.m. at The Baker’s Brewery, located at 531 Silverthorne Lane. Bring your toughest recycling questions to this casual, drop-in event and learn what happens to local recycling. The Baker’s Brewery will offer their regular happy hour with $2 off beer, $1 off wells and wine, and 25% off the appetizer menu.

Proper planning is one of the keys to getting the most out of a short-season garden. In this virtual workshop, Summit CSA Farmer and high altitude growing expert Kyla Laplante will offer tips on how to plant garden space for your family size and how to choose vegetable varieties that thrive in Summit County’s mountain environment. Attendees will also learn about timing the harvest and succession planting to make your garden more productive in a short growing season. This workshop is geared to gardeners of all levels and those new to Summit County’s growing environment.
