Dear CHLT Board Members, Staff, Friends, and Community Members,
After serving two years on the Colorado Headwaters Land Trust Board of Directors, I have decided to move back to Denver for a new job. It has truly been a rewarding experience. During my tenure, CHLT generated its largest revenue ever at this past year's Land, Lunch & Lager fundraiser. I am also proud to have served as the land trust's raffle manager - we sold all 120 raffle tickets!
These fundraising successes boosted CHLT's conservation work. It has been exciting to receive additional funding from the Open Lands, Rivers, and Trails Fund - a CHLT initiative. These funds helped reduce the costs of easement due diligence for landowners seeking conservation easements. I will be excited to hear about the closing of a pending conservation easement in west Grand County.
Most importantly, I want to thank my fellow board members, the CHLT staff, community members, and supporters because our conservation efforts would not be possible without your help. I consider you all my good friends.
CHLT is in a strong position and I can't wait to hear about new easements in the future. I have a feeling 2019 will be a great year for land stewardship in Colorado with the newly created Division of Conservation.
Farewell and keep up the great work! I plan to visit Grand County often to enjoy the beautiful landscapes we all love.
Sincerely,
Andrew Moore
