Keep It Colorado has published a case statement that tells the story of the Arkansas Basin and highlights a few ways our members can come together to conserve more land, protect more critical habitat, and have greater impacts on their communities across the basin.

The $10,000 investment comes from CPW’s Partners in the Outdoors Program, and supports Keep It Colorado’s Statewide Private Lands Conservation Plan. It complements funds we received from Great Outdoors Colorado and the Colorado Water Conservation Board in March.

Keep It Colorado has received $250,000 in funding to support the development of its Statewide Private Lands Conservation Plan. Investments include $175,000 from Great Outdoors Colorado’s Resilient Communities Program and $75,000 from the Colorado Water Conservation Board’s Water Plan Grant program.

Keep It Colorado has received $500,000 in grant funding from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO)’s Resilient Communities Program. The investment will enable Keep It Colorado to develop and administer a program to assist land trusts and landowners in covering the costs of transactions associated with conservation easements in 2021.

Keep It Colorado is developing the Statewide Private Lands Conservation Plan, a collaborative plan that rallies land trusts and partners around a unified vision for the future of private lands conservation in Colorado. Because 60 percent of lands in Colorado are privately owned, they account for a significant portion of the state that needs protection.

Keep It Colorado is offering the opportunity for partners and supporters to sponsor our member events. Our Sponsorship Kit 2021 is now available! Learn about the benefits of sponsoring and what events are coming up in 2021.
