Grand County — Colorado
Not far from some of Colorado’s most famous mountain towns, numerous notable species including greater sage grouse, elk, moose and mountain lion roam among the grasslands, forests and meadows of Grand County. Above them, bald eagles, hawks and other important birds can be seen soaring against the backdrop of scenic peaks.
The Nature Conservancy is now protecting more than 650 acres in the Upper Colorado River Basin through two new conservation easements. The easements add to the 1,950 acres of the C Lazy U Ranch that have already been protected by The Nature Conservancy. In addition to preserving key wildlife habitat and giving species the room they need to roam, these easements also provide a buffer from nearby development.
