Who We Are
Cherry Hills Land Preserve (CHLP) is a local 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 2005 to inspire nature conservation and open space stewardship in Cherry Hills Village. Since late 2021, CHLP has worked in partnership with the City of Cherry Hills Village to revitalize Quincy Farm and transform this long-dormant property into a vibrant community asset that connects people to nature and history. Quincy Farm provides 17.5 acres of public open space (representing 24% of City public open space & parks), and is strategically located along the High Line Canal.
What We Do
CHLP's work at Quincy Farm is focused on open space, nature and history education, and connecting the community to this unique property. CHLP's activities are to:
- Provide educational programs and events like the Barn Party that bring us together as a community;
- Engage and inform residents on the value of preserving this historic Farm and local conservation;
- Collaborate with the City of Cherry Hills Village to inform strategic planning and resource development for property uses and improvements so future generations can enjoy this unique community asset;
- Promote public access to the property while protecting its natural space and conservation values.
Our Vision & Impact
Our vision is that Quincy Farm will be an integral part of the educational and recreational infrastructure of the City of Cherry Hills Village, benefitting both people and wildlife. We seek to inspire a sense of stewardship and connection to nature, and to spark life-long curiosity and support for open space in our own backyard and beyond. In 2025, CHLP advanced this vision by providing community input in strategic planning, holding 27 educational programs that brought 1620 visitors to the Farm, and mobilizing private resources to support the renovation of the historic 1934 barn. See www.quincyfarm.org to learn more about our activities and programs!

These founders recognized the importance of preserving the scenic vistas and wildlife habitat that enrich our daily lives, as well as our part in the larger network of connected open space providing critical wildlife habitat and access to natural green spaces in Metro Denver.
