March is here, the sun is warming our cherished mountains, valleys, and rivers, and spring is nearly in sight. This is the time of year when we can finally start looking forward to longer days, blooming flowers, and long hours spent enjoying our land with friends and family.
At EVLT, as we look forward to the joy that the warmer months will bring, we are hard at work laying the foundation for the year's conservation efforts along with you all, our dedicated partners, advocates, and supporters. We have a big year ahead, and we are honored to have you on our team.
March is also a great time to reflect on the colder months that are now behind us, for a lot of great progress was made that we'd love to tell you about. In this letter, you'll find our newest

information about EVLT's national recognition, and more.
Thank you for your commitment to conservation in Eagle County. Together we are protecting forever the lands we love, preserving our heritage, scenic beauty, recreational opportunities, wildlife habitats, and building a permanent legacy for future generations.

Executive Director
