Conserve

Each day, the pressures increase on Colorado’s farms and ranches, wildlife habitat, river corridors, open spaces, and scenic vistas. Colorado’s population is now growing at twice the national average. As a result of this growth, tens of thousands of acres of open space are lost to development each year.

CCT was created to address this issue by increasing the funding, pace, and effectiveness of land conservation in Colorado. We are achieving this by expanding funding and tools, increasing the effectiveness and capacity of conservation organizations, broadening awareness of statewide conservation needs and opportunities, and focusing funders on those areas of Colorado with the highest conservation priorities.
