Protecting our Lands and Waters
About Us
For 45 years, the Nature Conservancy in Colorado has combined the hands-on impact of a local nonprofit with a global reach to find lasting conservation solutions at home and around the world. Over the years, we have protected more than 600,000 acres and 650 river miles across the state. Thank you for supporting our work!
Over 6 million acres of Colorado’s forests are in need of restoration. Wildlands firefighter Jeff Crandall sat down to tell us what the Conservancy is doing to help.
