Starting the week with some good news: over two miles of the Rio San Antonio and 300 acres of wetlands and ranchland in the southern San Luis Valley are now conserved! The Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust completed a new conservation easement with the Salazar family. Keep It Colorado was proud to support this project in partnership with Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) and Ducks Unlimited through the transaction cost assistance program.

Southern Plains Land Trust (SPLT) has protected over 60,000 acres of land across southeastern Colorado with the goal of protecting and restoring the American Serengeti. Land they protect is home to the most endangered mammal in North America – the black-footed ferret. Last week, SPLT joined up with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to release 33 ferrets to aid in the restoration of their population. With roughly 400 black-footed ferrets total in all of North America, this is no small achievement! Photos are courtesy of Karen Voepel Photography.

Election day is just around the corner. As you sit down at your kitchen table to fill out your ballot or as you make your way to the polls, make sure you are educated on the issues that matter to you. Many municipalities and counties across the state are asking voters about initiatives that impact conservation. Keep It Colorado put together a webpage dedicated to keeping you apprised of these measures. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gmCXYUzS Image courtesy of Boulder County.

This past week, Hannah, Katelyn, and Molly, went to the Land Trust Alliance Rally in Providence, RI. They attended sessions covering topics ranging from federal funding to collaborative conservation and even had the chance to tour an oyster farm! Besides the chance to meet with members and friends, the highlight of the week was when our very own, Hannah, presented with our policy co-chair, Erik Glenn, about how to run a policy campaign!
