YMCA of the Rockies Preserves 127 Acres of Land in Estes Park
The Estes Valley Land Trust and the YMCA of the Rockies partnered to protect over 127 acres of the YMCA’s Estes Park Center through a new conservation easement!
This land borders Rocky Mountain National Park and preserves the habitat along four streams, including the Big Thompson. It is also home to open space and trails that connect to the national park.
This conservation easement ensures that this land will forever stay in it’s natural state.

New Video Inspires Land Conservation
The Estes Valley Land Trust released a new video that reminds us of why we live here and how this valley could change without support for more land conservation.
From 14ers to wetlands, forests to meadows, we have it all in Estes Park.
How do you highlight our beautiful landscape, charismatic wildlife, plentiful outdoor recreation opportunities and incredible people in less than 4 minutes?

We had so much fun making this video and want to thank everyone involved.
We hope the video inspires you to join the Estes Valley Land Trust and help preserve one of the most spectacular places on earth.
You can become a member today by joining more than 400 people that support the Estes Valley Land Trust each year.
The video was made possible through a grant provided by the Land Trust Alliance, an organization that serves nearly 1,000 land trusts throughout the nation.
