For Love of the Land
For Love of the Land will be back in Spring 2026!
The 2024 event was held at the Denver Art Museum on May 15. It was a wonderful evening amongst Colorado’s best minds in conservation, business, and philanthropy to celebrate the leaders who are working to protect one of our most precious resources – water. The event highlighted the conservation initiatives of Colorado Open Lands as we work to protect water and the land and people it impacts. We honored Anne Castle, U.S. Commissioner for the Upper Colorado River Commission and former Assistant Secretary for Water and Science for the U.S. Department of the Interior, as the Champion of the Land and heard a fantastic keynote speech from Pete McBride.
You can watch our 2024 For Love of the Land feature video “The Water that Flows Between Us” here.
