 Roaring Fork Conservancy works with a variety of partners in land conservation. The links below are some organizations that offer useful resources and information about conservation easements and land conservation practices.Colorado Coalition of Land Trusts Formed in 1990, the Colorado Coalition of Land Trusts (CCLT) is the statewide, membership organization of local, statewide, regional and national land trusts. Several municipal open space programs and state and federal agencies also support the organization. CCLT's mission is to increase the amount of land protected in perpetuity through the voluntary conservation of agricultural land, critical wildlife habitat, and other important open lands. To date, CCLT Members have helped to protect over 515,000 acres of valuable agricultural, wildlife, and natural resources across the state. Land Trust Alliance Founded in 1982, the Land Trust Alliance is the national leader of the private land conservation movement, promoting voluntary land conservation across the country and providing resources, leadership and training to the nation's 1,200-plus nonprofit, grassroots land trusts, helping them to protect important open spaces. "The resources that LTA makes available to us are extraordinary," wrote one Montana land trust executive director. "Whether I need technical assistance on a particular issue or just someone's ear to bounce an idea off, I have always found the support and assistance I have needed, and it has been rendered professionally, quickly, impartially and effectively." The Land Trust Alliance provides an array of programs, including direct grants to land trusts, training programs, answers to more than 3,000 inquiries for technical assistance each year, and one-on-one mentoring to help land trusts build organizations that are equipped to protect open space. Pitkin County Open Space and Trails The Pitkin County Open Space and Trails Board acquires and preserves Open Space for recreational, agricultural and wildlife purposes in Pitkin County, Colorado. Roaring Fork Conservancy conducts interpretive programs in partnership with Pitkin County OST. Aspen Valley Land Trust Aspen Valley Land Trust was formed in 1967 and is the oldest land trust in the state of Colorado. AVLT works throughout the valley to preserve land, trails and conservation easements that landowners donate to the organization. The Nature Conservancy The Nature Conservancy works throughout the world to protect critical lands. In Colorado, the Nature Conservancy has worked to protect 430,000 acres of natural lands. This organization recently opened an office in Aspen, Colorado, joining the valley-wide effort to create local open space. |
