Crested Butte Land Trust

•    Preserve scenic areas and view corridors, wildlife habitats and fragile ecosystems;
•    Protect agricultural and ranching uses; and
•    Enhance access to public lands.

We are also working diligently to:
•    Preserve and restore natural areas;
•    Preserve water resources in their natural state;
•    Protect flood plains;
•    Utilize non-urban land for spatial definition of urban areas; and
•    Preserve land for its aesthetic or recreational value.

The Crested Butte Land Trust is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.  Formed in 1991, the Crested Butte Land Trust has preserved over 4,000 acres of land.  Almost half of this acreage has been preserved by conservation easements, voluntary agreements between a landowner and the Crested Butte Land Trust.

The Crested Butte Land Trust appreciates the support of the local community, second homeowners and visiting guests.  Currently we have over 1,200 members, and our sustaining membership program is growing.  Establishing trusting and meaningful relationships with community members has enabled us to become an extremely effective conservation organization.
