Colorado Headwaters Land Trust is very thankful for the support the Grand Foundation has given us over the years. Recently, they have helped us with two critically important projects at the land trust. First, they helped us redesign our website (www.coloradoheadwaterslandtrust.org). With help from the local design company, Firebird, we were able to design a professional website that clients could visit to find information about the land trust, including an interactive map of all the conservation easements we hold in Grand County.

Before Grand Foundation enabled us to upgrade our website, we wouldn’t even tell people to visit our website for more information. Now, it is the primary way we educate interested clients about the land trust.

Over the past 2 years the Grand Foundation has also provided grant money to design and print 5 maps. We worked with a GIS specialist from Computer Terrain mapping in Boulder, CO to design the maps. 2 of these maps displayed our Colorado River Initiative, which is our primary project and where we are working hard to conserve land and water on the Colorado River with conservation easements. Another 2 maps displayed our Fraser River Initiative, a similar project where the land trust is working hard to conserve land and water on the Fraser River.

The final map was a map of Grand County that displayed all the conservation easements Colorado Headwaters Land Trust holds, as well as other public lands, towns, and natural features.
