Our annual summit offers a welcoming and creative space where we can put our words into action, and step into another year of adapting to a changing climate. We explore how production, policy, and people intersect to enhance working lands.

โ€‹We’re always excited to showcase ways producers are leading or informing collaborative conservation work. We dig deeper into new tools and highlight opportunities like funding and collaboration.

Historically, this summit has hosted a large variety of practitioners with a focus on agricultural support and conservation organizations, agencies, and groups. We invite all to attend, and we’d love for you to invite others who you think would want to participate in our annual Summit event.

ABOUT

 

For 2023, we continued sharing, building, and strengthening our networks, practices, and communication.

Creating spaces for Coloradans to gather around land stewardship

COCEWL acknowledges and supports the good work being done on working lands by landowners, stewards, and the organizations supporting them; we help landowners share their stories and connect people to invaluable resources and tool kits throughout Colorado.

In every aspect of our work, we create spaces for landowners and network participants to gather and share lessons learned around conservation opportunities and stewardship with the land. We also provide professional development and fellowship opportunities. If you are interested in learning more about our work,ย weโ€™d love to hear from you! We welcome anyone to join our monthly virtual calls and always enjoy seeing new landowners accessing and participating in COCEWL events and network opportunities.
