Estes Valley Open Space Plan
EVLT spearheaded a planning project to identify the types of land that should be preserved in the greater Estes Valley.
After public events, a survey, and mapping, EVLT released a draft plan for a public comment. More than 170 comments were received. Thank you to those that reviewed and commented on the plan.

The Thumb Open Space
The Estes Valley Land Trust has been working with our partners to strengthen and enhance a few of our existing conservation easements. We are working with the Town of Estes Park, the Access Fund, Rocky Mountain Conservancy, and GOCO to better protect the conservation values of open space, wildlife habitat, scenic resources, and outdoor recreation access on the Thumb Open Space.
To learn more about this project, read the proposal here.

The Estes Valley Land Trust is proud to announce our Perpetuity Fund. With more than 4.5 million visitors coming to Estes Park each year, our open lands, wildlife and quality of life are at risk.
