WHAT
WE DO
PROGRAMS & PROJECTS
To accomplish our mission of protecting the lands and waters of Central Colorado that we all love, we have a diverse suite of projects and programs that propel our impact.
From conservation easements and restoration projects, to education and outreach programs, we are on the front lines of the work keeping our communities open and beautiful. Read below for more information on our efforts.
Land Conservation
As our most effective tool in protecting lands forever, conservation easements are one of our specialties. We work directly with land owners to ensure their needs and wants are met when it comes to preserving their land and family history.
Watershed
Restoration
Our local waters are a life-giving resources that we, and local wildlife, cannot live without. With a watershed specialist on our team, we develop and lead projects that keep our waters clean, healthy, and protected. Read about the South Arkansas River Health Assessment.
Connect
To Protect
Ensuring our community is connected to local conservation efforts is of the utmost importance to our organization. From ranchers and business owners, to home owners and visitors, it's our mission to connect these individuals to protecting our lands and waters.
Conservation
Outreach
Conservation can be a tough topic to understand sometimes. This is why we make it one of our main priorities to educate, inspire, and connect people to all things conservation so they know just how important local land protection is.
Community
Engagement
Understanding the importance of conservation is one thing, but being involved in making a difference is a very different thing. At the Conservancy, we host events, volunteer outings, and so much more to keep our community part of the solution to protecting our local lands and waters.
