Mesa Land Trust
In 2007 and 2008 renowned photographer John Fielder traveled to 50 of Colorado’s most scenic working ranches. The result was his most recent work, Ranches of Colorado, a 235 page book containing 375 photographs of Colorado’s ranches. On Tuesday November 17th at 7:00 pm, Mesa Land Trust will host Mr. Fielder for a free... slideshow featuring 250 photos from the project, including the recently conserved Aubert Ranch, a magnificent 3,700 acre property on Glade Park. The public is invited to the presentation which will be held at the museum of Western Colorado’s Whitman Educational Center at Ute and 4th.
A VIP reception preceding the slideshow will allow guests to meet John in an intimate setting and purchase books to be signed prior to the presentation. A selection of appetizers, local wines, and non-alcoholic beverages will be served. Tickets for the VIP event which will be held at the Museum of Western Colorado’s main gallery at 462 Ute Ave. are $50 and can be purchased through Mesa Land Trust by calling (970) 263-5443.Read More

Mesa Land Trust We wanted to share this article we came across in the High Country News about the growing wine industry in Colorado and the importance of fruit lands to local communities. Orchards and vineyards in Palisade are a top conservation priority for the Mesa Land Trust. We are ensuring that this young but growing industry will have the land base it needs to thrive.
