About BCRLT
What is the Black Canyon Regional Land Trust?
In the early 1990’s two independent local groups of citizens founded the Valley Land Conservancy and the Three Rivers Land Trust. These citizens wanted to help preserve open space and protect a special way of life. In 2000, the two organizations merged to form the Black Canyon Land Trust. We are a private, non-profit, non-political organization.
Our founders were brought together by a common concern that rapid urban growth was diminishing agriculture and ranching, and the open spaces they provide. They were dedicated to maintaining and improving the quality of life in the Uncompahgre, North Fork, and Lower Gunnison Watersheds. We continue to pursue their common goals today.
