A Message from the Executive Director

Greetings everyone, and welcome to our new website. We are still under construction and new pages will be added as we go. It is my hope that this interactive model will encourage you to come back and visit often. Many, many thanks to our local BP office and The Conservation Resource Center for their generous donations which are making this upgrade possible.

When it is all done, there will be an open forum blog for postings related to conservation easements and all the things we work so hard to protect. Feel free to post about conservation, farming, ranching, water, and recreation.

We will also have an education page with something for everyone from landowners, professional service people, community members, and students of all ages. I am working with others to develop content for this page and welcome everyone's input. Please feel free to contact me with any ideas or questions you may have. I can be reached at 259-3415 or sp@lposc.org.

I am looking forward to fully developing this means of communication as a means of building support for conservation practices in Southwestern Colorado.
