Our mission
Our mission
To ensure connected habitat and working lands for people and wildlife by increasing the pace of durable conservation in the Central Rockies of North America.
Our Vision
Our vision
We envision a region where actively engaged people and communities work together across boundaries to protect, restore, and steward the lands and waters that sustain natural systems and support community livelihoods.
Justice,
Equity, &
Inclusion
We work with an understanding that conservation is inextricably linked with justice. For too long we have failed in our responsibility to look squarely at historical inequities and frame our work in a way that recognizes injustice.
Our Programs
We offer programs that support communities, organizations, and agencies in collaborative conservation.
Keep It Connected
Heart of the Rockies Initiative is a land trust partnership at its core and works on several levels to support land trusts and private land conservation with willing landowners.
High Divide Collaborative
The only project of its kind in the region, it brings together over 200 people in 80 different organizations to work together across boundaries to restore, protect, and sustain biodiversity, wildlife connectivity, and migratory routes.
Rural Development
The Rural Development program supports rural communities by providing technical assistance to identify a common vision and goals, while helping communities receive financial support to accomplish projects that they want to see in their future.
Carnivore Conflict Reduction
Carnivore Conflict Reduction programs are critical to maintaining producer viability as large carnivore populations stabilize, increase, and expand geographically, coming in closer contact with agricultural operations and rural communities.
