The Leopold Conservation Award Program recognizes agricultural landowners actively committed to a land ethic. In Colorado, the award recognizes and celebrates extraordinary achievement in voluntary conservation by private landowners, inspires countless other landowners by example, and provides a prominent platform by which agricultural community leaders are recognized as conservation ambassadors to citizens outside of agriculture. In addition, the award program builds bridges between agriculture, government, environmental organizations, industry, and academia to advance the cause of private lands conservation.

In Colorado, the Leopold Conservation Award is presented by the Sand County Foundation, the Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust, and the Colorado Cattlemen's Association.

Congratulations to the 2021 recipients, the May Ranch and May Family!
