A climate monitoring station has been installed at CMC Steamboat

Shannon Lukens of Steamboat Radio reported on the ribbon cutting of a seventh climate monitoring station installed through a partnership with Colorado Mountain College Steamboat and several local, regional, state and national watershed and environmental partners on Oct. 6, 2025. 

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS - Mike Camblin was one of the speakers at a ribbon cutting on Oct. 6 for a new climate monitoring station installed above the CMC Steamboat campus. He is a Moffat County rancher from the Maybell area and also with the Colorado Water Conservation District.

“So to me, it’s all about soil," Conklin said. "Soil health is so important. We’re trying to build carbon in the soil, and make it healthier soil. So measuring that moisture just makes a huge difference. On our ranch we have six different stations that we check moisture with and it’s just a really good tool to tell us what’s going on underground.”

State and local leaders were also on hand for the ribbon cutting.
