CBS KCNC-TV Denver reporter Dillon Thomas produced and hosted a documentary entitled Scarred: Lessons Learned from The Cameron Peak Fire, which included a PWV story, and was nominated for two Regional 2022 Emmy® Awards. 
The documentary and the PWV story were each awarded an Emmy! While Dillon and the rest of us are humbled by this recognition, he mentioned that the independent judges were impacted by the meaningful content and range of stories presented in the documentary. 
At the PWV Mid-Summer Event on July 27, 2022, we had the privilege of Dillon attending the event, sharing stories about the Emmy awards, joining us for group photos while holding the actual trophies and sharing comments around the valuable contributions made by our group of volunteers. He was also able to discuss with Matt Cowan, Wilderness and Trails Program Manager, Canyon Lakes Ranger District, the current progress of trail repair and erosion protection and what to expect the next several years. Dillon summarized it well at the end of the evening, “people need to understand that this is not a quick fix. We have years of effort ahead of us and the work that PWV is doing is essential to helping repair the trails, as well as assisting folks out in the wilderness.”
