My Nonprofit Reviews

MALT is an incredible organization - not only do they save land and water and wildlife habitat, but they take their mission seriously, ensuring that future generations of Coloradans are educated about conservation and the importance of stewarding our beautiful open spaces. I was lucky to participate with MALT this summer on a "Citizen Science" workshop and learned about dendrochronology and the role that the study of tree rings plays in tracking climate change. MALT is a Colorado institution and I'm grateful for their work!

Mountain Area Land Trust played a huge role in saving my sanity during the Covid-19 quarantine of 2020. Despite not being able to live life as "normal", I spent every free hour outside enjoying the amazing natural areas, views and wildlife that MALT works so hard to protect. I explored Floyd Hill Open Space, Elk Meadow, Noble Meadow, and Pennsylvania Mountain - all MALT conserved properties - just to name a few. How lucky are we to live in such a beautiful natural area, with large swaths of land and water all largely protected thanks to MALT!

I support the work of the Mountain Area Land Trust because clean air and water, open spaces, wildlife habitat and my mountain way of life are so important to me and my family. Thanks to MALT's work for over 28 years, I know places where my family can hike, mountain bike, snowshoe, and watch wildlife. We see instances in other communities and states where protections on open spaces are not safeguarded and the results can be devastating - the wildlife are chased away, water sources are polluted, there is overcrowding and as a result there are damaging consequences. Wildfires, lack of infrastructure and resources to protect people, their homes and livelihoods. MALT protects the land in perpetuity. I feel good knowing that the beautiful open spaces I love will remain for my children, grandchildren and beyond thanks to this organization's efforts.
