Wet Mountain Valley

Our work in the Wet Mountain Valley intensified around our 2021 merger with San Isabel Land Protection Trust.  San Isabel was founded in 1995 by a group of Custer County residents concerned about increasing development pressures and the potential loss of agricultural lands, scenic vistas and wildlife habitat. At the time of merger, San Isabel had permanently protected 42,434 acres in Custer, Fremont, Huerfano and Pueblo counties through partnerships with more than 120 landowners and families. Colorado Open Lands has identified over 100 potential conservation projects in the area to bring continued conservation success to the region.
