Tom Hoyt

Tom and his wife Caroline have been pioneers in green building and sustainable neighborhood design over the 50 years they have been in business. Tom has been heavily involved in non-profit and service organizations centered around sustainable land planning, green building, national hiking trails, alternative transportation, and conservation for the majority of his career. He has served as chair of the Boulder CO Chamber; he spent ten years on the CO Nature Conservancy Board and six years on the Continental Divide Trail board. He is the founder and board member of the High Plains Environmental Center, was the founder and board member of Boulder County HBA, one of the founders and initial board members of the Boulder UT Community Association, and he spent six years as a Colorado Land Board Commissioner. Caroline and Tom are avid hikers and discovered Southern Utah and the Boulder area early in their hiking based travels. After working with the Grand Canyon Trust on the purchase and conservation of inholdings in the newly formed Grand Staircase National Monument, they found the Deer Creek property adjacent to Boulder where they have a tent camp and have recently built a house on their adjacent Black Mesa property where they currently spend at least half their time.
