Mission Statement

Colorado West Land Trust is a private, non-profit organization founded in 1980 years ago with the understanding that the natural lands that surround us are a precious resource for our community; that the farms & ranches, the wildlife habitat, the scenic natural areas, define this place we call home; that these lands contribute immeasurably to our quality of life.

About This Cause

Colorado West Land Trust understands the connection between a healthy landscape and a more diversified, resilient economy. We see that conserved lands support farming and ranching activities that bring in millions of dollars. We know that trail-based recreation, wildlife and wine country underpin our growing tourism economy. We understand that in a mobile world where many skilled workers and business owners can live almost anywhere, quality of life itself becomes a critical economic driver. The Land Trust’s mission is To protect and enhance agricultural land, wildlife habitat and scenic lands in western Colorado to benefit the community at large, enrich lives, provide opportunities for outdoor recreation, and ensure our connection to land for generations to come. We are the only local private land trust in a 6 county region (Delta, Gunnison, Mesa, Montrose, Ouray, San Miguel) qualified to hold conservation easements. We currently protect over 131,000 acres.
