For 45 years, the Conservancy in Colorado has worked to protect the lands and waters that form the foundation of our economy, our recreational pursuits and our livelihoods. Over the years, we have protected more than 600,000 acres and 650 river miles across the state.
For all of the hardworking staff at The Nature Conservancy, our kids provide a powerful motivation for the work we do. The Conservancy's next generation in Colorado have a message for their parents' dedication to nature: "thanks, mom and dad!" © TNC
