Join Keep It Colorado, Aspen Valley Land Trust, Eagle Valley Land Trust, and The Colorado Nature Conservancy on October 19 for an evening celebrating conservation leadership and looking ahead to the future of conservation funding in Colorado.

We'll recognize Representative Elizabeth Velasco and Senator Dylan Roberts for their leadership in extending Colorado's Conservation Easement Tax Credit through 2036—a recent bipartisan policy achievement that will help keep protecting Colorado's farms, ranches, wildlife habitat, water resources, and outdoor landscapes.

Then we'll turn our attention to what's next: Proposition 137 and its potential implications for conservation funding statewide, along with an emerging effort to establish dedicated conservation funding in Eagle County.
