Today, along with our partners, we announced the permanent protection of the historic 3,334-acre Toll property in Colorado, one of the largest intact private holdings along the Front Range. Get the full details in the press release: goo.gl/a3cUvC. This area is a popular recreation destination with access to the James Peak Wilderness, Indian Peaks Wilderness, Roosevelt National Forest, and Eldora Ski Area. The conservation easement protects critical drinking water sources for Boulder and Denver, improves forest management and safety, and sustains and enhances recreational opportunities. “Coloradans in every corner of our state believe that the conservation of our land and way of life are top priorities,” U.S. Senator Michael Bennet said. “Today we celebrate another victory for conservation in the South Boulder Creek watershed. It will continue to benefit Colorado’s outdoor recreation economy and support jobs in the recreation and tourism industry.”
