Save the Date for the Eagle Valley Land Trust Legacy Festival
Saturday August 8, 2015, Eagle Town Park, 4:00-7:00pm
Together, we are all making a difference!
The EVLT Legacy Festival brings together rural non-profits, local agencies, and local businesses that have conservation in their mission and business plan to celebrate our community's efforts towards making this place even better in the future. Combining last year's hugely successful cow patty bingo event, the conservation theme of EVLT's past Evergreen Ball events, and an exposition for community organizations and businesses that incorporate conservation into their mission and business plans, it is sure to be a great time!
Free entry to all. Cow patty bingo tickets on sale here.

Closing Preparations on Horse Mountain: EVLT is preparing for closing on the Horse Mountain conservation easement which conserves 200 mountain-top acres south of Eagle, Colorado. Horse Mountain is a prominent peak overlooking the Brush Creek valley with a BLM road providing access for potential development that would have a huge impact on the fantastic scenery of this beautiful valley.

Land Conservation Progresses on the Colorado River: EVLT is currently collaborating with Colorado Parks and Wildlife to submit an application for grant funding for a stunning ranch in Eagle County containing senior water rights and over 1/2 mile of Colorado river frontage. As more details can be made public, we will provide them!
Outreach: EVLT attended the Eagle Outside Festival in May to promote its land conservation mission and to spread the word about the EVLT Legacy Festival.
