Crested Butte Land Trust

Staff monitored and maintained 65 conservation easements and fee owned parcels across 5700 acres. The land trust improved trail conditions supported wildlife habitats, cattle ranching and recreational access for the public. Critical partnerships were enhanced through collaboration with private industry, local governments and mission aligned non-profits. Public outreach programs included many firsts such as the debut of the land trust's spanish language field trips focused on local spanish speakers who are not already accessing land trust and adjacent parcels for recreation.

The crested butte land trust successfully renewed our 5 year accreditation with the land trust alliance through a rigorous multi-month application and review. Land trust alliance accreditation is the only national standard for professional land trusts to prove compliance with best practices across multiple program areas.
