The
Crested Butte Land Trust benefits our community by providing important
amenities such as year round trails and access to public lands.
The mission of the Crested Butte Land
Trust is to preserve Gunnison County’s
unique heritage and quality of life by
forever protecting open lands
for vistas, recreation, wildlife and ranching.
Formed
in 1991, we have accomplished the protection of over 4,500 acres of land by:
~ Working with
willing landowners to identify and permanently protect significant lands
in Gunnison County, both by acquiring fee title or accepting conservation
agreements, and by assisting in the transfer of lands to local, state or
federal agencies for protection;
~ Managing the
stewardship of lands by monitoring properties to protect conservation
values for the public;
~ Effectively
communicating with supporters and the public to promote greater
involvement in the Land Trust's activities;
~ Continually
improving both the effectiveness and involvement of board, committees,
staff and volunteers by following LandTrust Alliance recommended
Standards and Practices;
~ and obtaining and
managing funds to carry out the Land Trust's work in a fiscally
responsible manner.
