What is Land & Water Conservation and Why is it Important?

Land conservation keeps working lands in agricultural production, supporting our economy and way of life. It preserves the scenic views and natural beauty of the San Luis Valley. It keeps water resources in here in the valley to sustain working lands, internationally important wetlands, and vital riparian habitats. It also protects important wildlife habitats for a variety of species, from big game to migrating birds and waterfowl, to endangered and threatened species. By supporting land conservation you’re helping sustain the rich cultural heritage and the qualities that make the San Luis Valley special!
