Our Mission

Our mission is to forever protect and steward open lands for vistas, recreation, wildlife, and ranching, thus contributing to the preservation of Gunnison County’s unique heritage and quality of life.

For over 30 years, the Crested Butte Land Trust has worked with partners to preserve scenic vistas, wildlife habitats, our ranching heritage, and recreational opportunities forever. Willing landowners, local ranchers, government entities, fellow nonprofits, and committed community members make this valuable work possible.

Celebrating 35 Years of Conservation!

For 35 years, the Crested Butte Land Trust has worked alongside our community to protect the lands, waters, trails, ranches, and wildlife habitat that make the Gunnison Valley so special. From the Slate River Wetlands and Long Lake to Cement Creek and beyond, conservation in this valley has always been powered by people who deeply value this place. 

As we celebrate this milestone, we are honoring the people and partnerships that have shaped our conservation legacy and looking ahead to the work still to come.

This is your place.

Join us in protecting it for generations to come.
