A Fond Farewell to Diane! |

After so many years of service to Colorado Headwaters Land Trust and a great many other organizations and businesses in Grand County, Diane and Jack have decided to retire! We are endlessly grateful for all the work Diane did for the land trust, and wish her and Jack all the best in their new home.

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in our iNaturalist Bioblitz for the month of July! We had so much fun doing it and look forward to future iterations of the project!
Each day we highlighted an "Observation of the Day" and shared it on our social media platforms. Every Friday all project participants who made observations that week were automatically entered into a raffle to win prizes, contributed by the hosting organizations and Two Pines Supply in Granby. The final winner will be the person who contributed the most to the Project over the course of the month.
The weekly winners were Mary Price, Sadie Jackson, Joanna Goodman, and Christina Fesz, and Christina was also being our Monthly Winner with an amazing 93 observations. See our social media feeds for photos of the weekly winners, and of so many of the great species observed throughout the month in Grand County!

July 25: This week, Congress passed the Great American Outdoors Act which will permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The vote ensures much-needed funding for maintenance at our national parks, refuges and forest service lands. This historic legislation will go a long way to ensuring that we all have greater access to the outdoors.
