I volunteered for COL for ten years (so far) after working for them for a previous ten. The staff (and board) are exceptionally committed to their mission and professional in their services to the landowners and public they serve.

I moved to Colorado 17 years ago because of its open spaces, wildlife, mountains and gorgeous scenery. I'm relieved to know that there are people dedicating their time to protect what I love most about this state! Part of what's so great about their work is that the land stays in private ownership, so the land can keep on producing valuable commodities for our local economy.

Colorado Open Lands strategically and effectively leads conservation efforts throughout the state of Colorado. As one of a handful of land trusts that work statewide, COL's diverse portfolio of projects include small acreage urban farms to the largest tracts of remote wild lands in the state. The ability to successfully complete such a wide range of projects is a testament to the organization's highly regarded and extremely effective staff. From start to finish, every project receives the utmost professional attention to the benefit of the people and landscapes of this state now and into the future.

Colorado has some of the most beautiful landscapes of anywhere in the country, and with the threat of fracking and other environmental threats, no organization is doing more to protect those landscapes than Colorado Open Lands.
