Southern Colorado Conservation Awards

In early October, I made my way down to Colorado Springs for the third annual Southern Colorado Conservation Awards, hosted by the great folks at Palmer Land Trust.  Since 1977, the Palmer Land Trust has conserved over 70,000 acres of ranch land and wild places, making them the largest local, private land trust in the United States.

The evening consisted of great conversation with individuals working in the Colorado conservation community, followed by an excellent dinner prepared with local food, and, most importantly, the awards ceremony.  As part of the awards ceremony, the award winners were profiled in short films that had been produced by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Ginger Kathrens.

Rather than try to explain all the great work that this year’s winners have done, I’ll let you check out the four videos below.  Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to Palmer Land Trust for a great evening!
