Douglas Land Conservancy (DLC) is a non-profit organization made up of concerned citizens. Based in Castle Rock, Colorado since 1987, DLC primarily serves Douglas County. However, recognizing the importance of a regional approach in land conservation DLC has recently broadened its focus to support surrounding counties, including Jefferson and Elbert.

Since 1987 DLC has protected 22,500 acres from being developed, in perpetuity. These lands include agricultural lands, public recreation open space, scenic viewscapes, critical wildlife habitat, and wetlands.

Of those 22,500 acres, 11,102 acres are open to the public and provide great trails and recreational experiences for all to enjoy. 11,398 acres are private lands that protect agricultural operations, open space, scenic viewscapes, critical wildlife habitat, and wetlands from ever being developed.

It is DLC's job to ensure that these properties are protected in perpetuity by visiting each property annually. The hardest part of our job begins once a conservation easement is put in place on the land.

DLC continues to work with its partners and landowners to explore all opportunities to expand its conservation easement portfolio. But our work is far from over. With a strong economy, comes continued development pressure. DLC strives to ensure that our region maintains its natural character, the open spaces, and vital wildlife habitat that we all enjoy today and hope to enjoy for generations to come.

Our goal for 2018 is to raise more than $125,000 to fund current projects. We are working to protect an additional 3,000 acres in Douglas County; including critical wildlife habitat in Sedalia, an historic ranch and homestead in Castle Rock, wetland habitat in Franktown and more than 2,000 acres in Larkspur with potential for amazing recreational opportunities. You can help us meet these goals with your donation.
