Palmer Land Conservancy

Since 1977, Palmer Land Conservancy has protected 138,000 acres of Colorado land, including 20 public parks and open spaces. Based in Colorado Springs, the organization works with individuals, private and public partners, and communities to conserve land and water for people and nature. Its priorities include preserving parks and urban green spaces, protecting farms and ranches, safeguarding wildlife habitats and waterways, and advancing water initiatives that balance competing needs in the West. The conservancy also connects urban residents with local food systems and communities with nature. It produced a film about water, land use, and a farming community in Pueblo, Colorado. Its work aims to keep Colorado's natural resources available for current and future generations.
