Our Partners
Eagle County Open Space is the major funder and owner of permanently conserved land in Eagle County. The land trust and the county collaborate frequently to conserve those places that make Eagle County a great place to live and visit. In most cases, the land trust holds conservation easements on the land to ensure forever that it will never be sold or used for purposes other than open space.
EVLT is proud to feature Alpine Bank as the title sponsor of EVLT’s annual Legacy Festival. Passionate and charged to improve the organization’s environmental practices, Alpine Bank employees implemented practices that resulted in the bank’s inducted into the International Green Industry Hall of Fame 2016.
