Cheers for Conservation

Colorado Open Lands hosts Cheers for Conservation to celebrate the leaders, landowners, and landscapes of Colorado. The event has a dual purpose: as a fundraiser to support COL’s conservation work, and to honor an individual or group for their lifetime of achievements in support of Colorado’s outdoors, land conservation, and open space. Our next Cheers for Conservation will be held in the Fall of 2025.  Learn more!
