Keep It Colorado

Keep it Colorado is a nonprofit coalition of conservation organizations working to protect the lands and waters that define our state. We are intent on creating a future in which conservation, protection and stewardship are priorities for Colorado’s communities. We are the only coalition in Colorado that is elevating the voice of organizations doing on-the-ground private lands conservation - and we do this by bringing together multiple sectors to advance conservation across this great state. Our coalition’s work: **continues the legacy and heritage of Colorado’s working family farms and ranches; **protects our state’s large, connected natural areas that define Colorado - including open spaces and scenic vistas, rivers and lakes, and fish and animals; **and enables Coloradans and visitors to enjoy our state’s iconic beauty, from the prairies and deserts to the mountains, today and in the future.
