Black Canyon Regional Land Trust

A nonprofit organization

Conserving the Open Lands and Rural Heritage of Western Colorado

Mission

Black Canyon Regional Land Trust works in partnership with families and communities to permanently conserve the open spaces and rural heritage that define western Colorado for today, and future generations

Background Statement

In the early 1990's two independent local groups of citizens founded the Valley Land Conservancy and the Three Rivers Land Trust. These citizens wanted to help preserve open space and protect a special way of life. In 2000, the two organizations merged to form the Black Canyon Land Trust, now known as the Black Canyon Regional Land Trust. Our founders were brought together by a common concern that rapid urban growth was diminishing agriculture and ranching, and the open spaces they provide. They were dedicated to maintaining and improving the quality of life in the Uncompahgre, North Fork, and Lower Gunnison Watersheds. We continue to pursue their common goals today.
