GOCO Approves Promontory Ranch Funding

Earlier this week, Great Outdoors Colorado (“GOCO”) officially approved funding that will help Crested Butte Land Trust purchase the northern portion of Promontory Ranch.  With this purchase, set to close in mid-January, Crested Butte Land Trust will be preserving a 108-acre parcel that is has significance not just for wildlife and scenic views, but also for the local community that uses it for hiking, mountain biking, and backcountry skiing on Snodgrass Mountain.  Crested Butte Land Trust’s tireless fundraising efforts and creative thinking have created one of those rare situations that is a win-win-win for conservation, the local community, and the local government.

To learn more about it, and to read a recent Denver Post article about the funding, head over the Mirr Ranch Group blog:
