EVLT Connects with Latino Community
The Eagle Valley Land Trust wants to hear from you (meaning everyone in our community) about how we can best serve you.
An equally important, but less vocal, demographic of the "you" we want to hear from are our Hispanic and Latino neighbors. So we conducted a survey at the Cielito Lindo Music & Heritage Festival held in Avon on Sept. 18 and 19. The responses are important and uplifting.

EVLT Advocacy Advances Wildlife Planning
Back in late 2014, EVLT sponsored a presentation by Julia Kintsch of ECO-Resolutions about a 2011 study of the I-70 corridor and the barriers to wildlife habitat connectivity it presents. In attendance were Eagle County Staff and Commissioners and other community members. As a result, in February, 2015, county commissioners directed staff to incorporate consideration of wildlife habitat connectivity in future planning efforts.
Specifically, Adam Palmer,
Environmental Policy Planner for Eagle County, reported that "the county will work with external stakeholders to develop a regional wildlife migration overlay map and/or plan to help guide future land use decisions and mitigation efforts." Further, Palmer stated, "there is support to move forward with developing a regional wildlife migration overlay to incorporate recommendations from the I-70 migration study as well as from Colorado Parks and Wildlife."
The next step has now been announced by the County! Its first stakeholder meeting for development of an "I-70 corridor Wildlife Linkage Plan" will take place in mid-December and EVLT will be there! Palmer highlighted that "t
he goal of this project is to develop a plan leveraging the findings of the 2011 study to maintain / improve wildlife connectivity and migration through the I-70 corridor to support healthy animal populations and improve public safety. Anticipated deliverables of the plan may include recommended policies, overlay areas, and/or identify capital improvement projects to improve wildlife habitat connectivity in the Eagle Valley."
Thank you commissioners and Eagle County Planning for making wildlife habitat connectivity a priority in future planning!
