As a community-supported conservation organization, people like you have helped Aspen Valley Land Trust conserve over 67 square miles of land in Western Colorado. We work with local families and communities throughout the Roaring Fork and middle Colorado River valleys to protect the land, water, wildlife, and way of life you love. With your help, we conserve wildlife habitat, rivers, wetlands, working ranches and farms, parks and trails, and the scenic open lands that make Western Colorado so special. We believe in providing opportunities for all children, communities, and future generations to connect with nature, local agriculture, and outdoor experiences. This is only the beginning. There’s much more work to do. Only with your support can we protect our Western landscapes, wildlife, and way of life. |

A conservation easement is a voluntary agreement between a landowner and a land trust that permanently limits certain types of future development while allowing for anticipated future uses on a property. Land placed into a conservation easement still belongs to the landowner, and the landowner retains the rights to sell the land or pass it on to family. |
