Community Outreach and Education
strengthening Colorado’s conservation ethic
In order to protect land, we also must protect Colorado’s celebrated land conservation ethic. Colorado Open Lands is in the business of forever. That means we view our work with the intention that it last perpetually. With that understanding, we create programs and opportunities that aim to instill a connection, wonder, and respect between all Coloradans and the land.
conservation leadership series
The Conservation Leadership Series engages a cohort of early- to mid-career professionals from diverse industries in a nine-month, immersive educational experience that weaves together a series of briefings, field experiences, and networking opportunities to learn about the issues and complexities of land and water conservation in Colorado.

Teacher Workshops & Resources
The annual Teacher Workshops train K-12 educators from across Colorado about Colorado’s natural world. These programs help build educators’ knowledge base about the environment, develop their skills in getting students outside, and provide both classroom and outdoor based lessons and resources that they can take back to their classrooms.

Outreach Events
An important part of the mission of Colorado Open Lands is to ensure continued public support for conservation – best accomplished by educating Coloradans about the important connection between conserved lands and our quality of life. Throughout the year, Colorado Open Lands hosts free, educational, and meaningful outreach events for the Colorado community. Learn more!
