Saving the ranch: AVLT prepares to close on purchase of Coffman Ranch near Carbondale
Post Independent 7/13/2021: "Rex and Jo Coffman couldn’t imagine their 141 acres of land east of Carbondale being anything but a working ranch and riverfront nature preserve. So they made sure of it."

Environmental analysis puts Marble wetlands donation within reach
Aspen Times 5/28/2021: "You wouldn’t want to put it in your granola, in the words of Crystal Valley Environmental Protection Association President John Armstrong, but a heap of waste material left over from a 1900s smelting operation near the banks of the Crystal River in Marble does not appear to pose enough of an environmental hazard to prevent the donation of 55 acres of otherwise stunning, mostly wetlands terrain to a land conservation organization."

Red Hill trails need "TLC"
Sopris Sun 5/26/2021: "The trails in Carbondale’s Red Hill Recreation Area are loved. If that’s not clear from the jammed parking lot, there’s evidence along the trails themselves."
