Environmental analysis puts Marble wetlands donation within reach
Aspen Times 5/28/201: "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."

Aspen Daily News 3/25/2021: "At least one of the few remaining ranches in the area won’t be gobbled up by well-heeled urban dwellers fleeing to the Roaring Fork Valley.Aspen Valley Land Trust is purchasing the Coffman family ranch along Catherine Road for $6.5 million."
