Cloud City Conservation Center's mission is to inspire stewardship of our natural resources by creating educational opportunities and lasting community infrastructure in Leadville and Lake County.
You might know us from our farm on the corner of 6th and McWethy where we host a weekly donation based produce market every Friday or from our Zero Waste work where we partner with local events to reduce the impact of their waste on our community and the environment. But did you also know that we help make Lake County homes more energy efficient and help pay past due utility bills so that Lake County residents don't have to worry about having their heat turned off in the middle of winter? We believe that a sustainable community supports both it's community members and the planet, that's why our vision is "Healthy Planet, Healthy People".
Over the last year we have shifted our work to ensure that our programs are accessible to everyone in Lake County and we've grown as a result - just a year ago we had one full time staff member and now we have three. We are so excited to re-engage with the EDC this year and work with Lake County businesses to reduce their environmental impact. Don't hesitate to reach out if you think there is a way we can work together to support a healthier planet and a healthier Lake County.
The LLCEDC will be highlighting key partners and members. Sustaining, growing and maintaining the future of Leadville/Lake County takes all of us.
