Don your gloves, grab your water bottle, and join us for an afternoon of community engagement as we strategically remove the invasive weeds and provide a better habitat for the native plants.

We hope to see you at the Community Foundation‘s Here for Good Community Celebration at the Center for the Arts in Crested Butte! Join your fellow nonprofit staff, board members, volunteers, and supporters in celebrating all the amazing work we’re doing together for our valley. Stop by for some or all of the afternoon to see the Land Trust and our vast array of partner organizations who are here for good.

Join the Land Trust and our partners at Adaptive Sports Center for a bike demo. Location TBA.

With local outdoor enthusiast, Molly Murfee, leading the way, we’ll explore our conserved lands in Spanish on this inclusive outing. Yamel Aguirre with the County’s Juvenile Services Department and City Councilperson Marisela Ballesteros will also be along for the adventure as we stroll along the Lower Loop’s wide path and enjoy a picnic lunch on conserved lands! RSVPs are required at jessica@cblandtrust.org.

The Lower Loop is an easy out and back that can be as much as 4 miles round trip or as short as you’d like. As a group, we’ll hike along the wide path, which extends half a mile up the Slate River valley from the trailhead and is stroller-friendly. Another half mile of easy terrain will bring us to the Slate River and singletrack trail that is no longer stroller-friendly. Those who wish to continue on may do so in one group while the other may head back based on the needs of the group.

Join the Land Trust for a celebration of conservation! The week will include happy hours, coffee dates, hikes on conserved lands, and more.

Stay tuned for for details.
