As we gear up for our annual Forever Colorado BBQ on July 14th we want to take a moment to celebrate all of the past CCALT BBQ’s by sharing photos from each.

Lauren Johnson takes over the CCALT blog to share a series of photos and highlights from the 2018 calving season on her family’s Flying Diamond Ranch.

I have a unique opportunity to have an impact on an organization that I have watched grow from one staff member to nine, and to continue working with landowners and families to conserve their land.

Given in honor of renowned conservationist Aldo Leopold, the Leopold Conservation Award provides a visible forum where farmers, ranchers and other private landowners are recognized for their leadership in conservation.

Each year we celebrate a series of “wins” made possible by our generous donors, supporters, partners, and friends.

In 2017, CCALT partnered with eleven ranching families to permanently conserve 55,759 acres. These projects span six counties across the state and protect diverse resources from prairie grasslands to iconic river corridors.

Oftentimes, a key piece of focusing on impact is celebrating it. This video does just that, and we hope you’ll take a minute to watch it.

Conservation buyers generally preserve landscapes through conservation easements or self-imposed restrictions which keep working ranches working.

The Partnership of Rangeland Trusts (PORT) is a collaborative organization made up of seven land trusts from across the West that are affiliated with their state livestock associations.

More importantly, hunting gives me an outlet that allows me to escape the “noise” of modern life and connect with nature in a way that only farmers, ranchers and hunters can truly understand.
