Your Feedback is Needed – Open Space and Outdoor Recreation Plan
EVLT is spearheading 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 has released a draft plan for a public comment period.
Please take a few minutes to read through the draft plan and submit your comments. This public comment period will be open until September 3rd. Your feedback will directly affect the future of open lands the Estes Valley.
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.
