We are thrilled to be a part of this conservation effort. We are so grateful to the Baxter Family and the Crested Butte Land Trust for conserving these 121 acres of wetlands, a rare fen ecosystem and a treasured property that provides the most epic views of Italian Mtn and a vibrant home for moose, bears, horses, elk and deer, water foul, fish and many cool and intriguing invertebrates 😉!!!!

Finally, thanks to our 60 partnering businesses (https://1percentforopenspace.org/partners/) who made it possible for us to help fund this project!

We are so excited to continue to work with CORE and Emily and Larry! Welcome to the 1% family.

We are so excited to continue to work with CORE and Emily and Larry! Welcome to the 1% family.

Welcome *NEW OWNERS OF CORE* Larry and Emily Chauvin! It’s time for the next chapter in the CORE  story…we are so excited to see what’s next! 💫✨

Larry taught elementary school in Austin, Texas for 19 years, the last 12 of those years being PE. In 2009, Larry created a running club on his campus called Austin Youth Fitness. It now serves over 30 campuses in and around Austin offering youth running, biking, and yoga programs.

Emily has her Masters in Exercise Physiology from UT and a Masters in Professional Accounting from UT.  She spends her time trying to marry these two degrees and doing her best to keep up with Larry.

Emily and Larry first met in April 2011 to discuss having Emily come on board as a biking camp coach. This job turned into a friendship, which turned into an engagement and finally a marriage. They spent many happy years in central Austin running their businesses and are now thrilled to be taking on a new business adventure here in Crested Butte! They live in CB South with their daughter Tacy, son Jack, and dog Penny.

Larry and Emily are excited to maintain the wonderful things Ginny and the Core team have created!🙌💞✨

You've probably already heard the good news, but the almost 50 year fight to prevent molybdenum mining on Mt. Emmons has come to an end. Since the late 70s, countless people, organizations and effort has been put into this fight and we are so grateful to everyone who has played a role in this. Most recently, the Crested Butte Land Trust and High Country Conservation Advocates have worked tirelessly through a complicated land exchange to provide permanent protections to this beloved mountain! Come celebrate this spectacular achievement with our community on October 4th, on Elk Ave, starting around 5 pm! Wear red!!!

Time to Celebrate! 💃⛰
--
Save the date! - Friday, October 4 2024, 5 PM till Dark

One month from now, Elk Avenue will be dressed in Red and filled with love for a FOREVER mine-free Red Lady! HCCA is hosting a street dance in a triumphant red tradition that pays tribute to the celebration in 1981 when AMAX, the first mining company to battle our community, left the valley. Come join us and dance the night away at this free show with music provided by Floodgate Operators.

Thank you to the Town of Crested Butte, the Crested Butte Land Trust, and Mt. Emmons Mining Company for your support in throwing this party for all who love Red Lady.
