Want to support conservation while spending quality time with family and friends (human, canine, and bovine) this summer?

On July 27th, EVLT's famous Cow Patty Bingo returns! The big event involves a 4-H grand champion steer, sheep, a giant bingo board, and patience for poop.

10% of proceeds from bingo-square deeds go to our local 4-H club, while the rest goes to protecting our water, wildlife habitat, recreational access, and natural and scenic resources. To purchase a deed and learn more, check out evlt.org/poop/.

This week, EVLT's team met with Eagle County's commissioners and Open Space staff to talk about ongoing open space initiatives and new ways for the community to connect with our protected lands.

Eagle County is a seat of major watersheds. The Eagle River--to which Avon, Eagle-Vail, Edwards, Eagle, and more are neighbors--flows to the Gulf of California via the Colorado River. Along its almost 1,500-mile path, the Colorado River touches or crosses 7 U.S. states and supplies scores of communities with precious water. Just another reason Eagle County is special, and why it's important to protect our lands so we can maintain healthy rivers.
