Why become a Perennial Partner?
“I love living in Colorado because of the natural beauty of the landscape, the amazing wildlife, and the wonderful recreational opportunities. I support Colorado Open Lands because they are working to preserve the land that makes this state so special. I decided to become a monthly donor because donating a small amount each month eventually adds up to a bigger donation. Like a savings program, if you ‘set it and forget it’ you can make an impact that matters without a big impact on your finances!”
– Nanette Curtis
“As the daughter of an environmentalist, I was raised to deeply value the environment. Since relocating to Denver, Colorado Open Lands has been a wonderful way to maintain my connection to my environmentalist roots. I give monthly because it is financially sustainable for me and I’ve maintained my monthly donations seamlessly, which makes it easy to continue giving.”
– Laura Bricklin
Frequently asked questions
Why donate to Colorado Open Lands?
We want to ensure that future generations have the chance to experience Colorado as we know it – with healthy waterways, thriving wildlife, epic views, healthy local food, exceptional outdoor recreation, and the opportunity for outdoor education.
About 60% of land in all of Colorado is privately owned. This is the land that grows our food, supports critical ecosystem services, and inspires our many adventures. Colorado Open Lands believes that this land is vital for the future of our state. We work with landowners across the state who choose to voluntarily conserve their land forever – for the benefit of all Coloradans.
By supporting Colorado Open Lands, you are protecting the values you love about Colorado. Your monthly gift helps conserve, steward, and enhance our state’s most valued wild and working land forever.
