Conserved Colorado is a collaboration of people – landowners, consumers, and business owners – all in support of land conservation.
Conserved Colorado starts with a landowner who chooses to protect their land with a conservation easement. Conserving land means permanent protection from property subdivision and development. It means that an open space stays an open space, a ranch stays a ranch – forever. It means that all the benefits that come from the land remain for future generations: local food, scenic views, fresh water, wildlife habitat, outdoor recreation, outdoor education, and Colorado’s heritage.
Landowners work hard to conserve and steward their land. They produce our food and other consumer products and host memorable adventures! We can honor these landowners and invest in conservation by purchasing products and experiences from them. Colorado Open Lands updates a digital directory biannually (June and November) to help you do just that! We also publish a hard-copy version with the June update. Our directory is a user-friendly way for you to support landowners who have given Coloradans the ultimate gift of protecting their land.
For Landowners
Colorado Landowners – We appreciate all the work you have done and continue to do to conserve your land in perpetuity. In honor of your commitment to our state’s future, we would love the opportunity to market your products or experiences to consumers across the state. Whether you grow vegetables, sell meat, offer to a CSA (community-supported agriculture), host guiding trips, or run education programs, let’s connect these offerings to people in the state that admire and appreciate your dedication. The program is free to join, and your property can be conserved with any land trust or organization.
