Southern Colorado Conservation Awards

For ten years, Palmer Land Conservancy has hosted the Southern Colorado Conservation Awards to honor the significant achievements of individuals and organizations that, through their conservation efforts, advance the well-being of the people, land, and way of life throughout southern Colorado. Successful conservation is dynamic and involves more than just resource protection and our event celebrates a wide variety of champions who love the land.

Tenacity: Women in Conservation

Wednesday, March 13, 2024 | 5:00 - 7:00 p.m.

Palmer’s annual TENACITY: Women in Conservation event celebrates the enduring and tenacious commitment of women who are dedicated to protecting Colorado’s wide-open spaces and precious natural resources. It includes a fun and inspiring evening of conversation and good food with women who have blazed their own paths and are defining conservation in the 21st century.
