We have preserved 16,535 acres of ranchlands and continue to make progress toward our goal of protecting 30,000 acres in the Gunnison-Crested Butte area.
About GRCL
We work to ensure
that productive agricultural lands remain part of our changing community.
GRCL is a non-profit 501 3(c) organization based in Gunnison County, CO. Acting on behalf of landowners in conjunction with established land trusts, GRCL works with ranching families to protect their lands with conservation easements.
Benefits:
* families know their land is available for
agricultural
production forever
* land is reduced in
value for estate tax
purposes
* permanent
protection ensures
wildlife habitat
* local residents and
visitors are assured
that beautiful open
spaces will not be
developed
News:
Join us Sept. 18 for our
2nd annual Cow Pasture Golf Tournament
& Fund Grazer Picnic
at the Redden Ranches on Ohio Creek Road
We will have a BBQ picnic lunch, live music by Chris Coady and children's activities including a bounce house and putt-putt course at the Fairview Schoolhouse.
You don't have to be a pro golfer, but you do need a sense of humor! Come spend a morning with Gunnison Valley ranchers as they swing through the course and enjoy hole prize contests and prize money to the winning team in this "best ball" scramble. The nine-hole course is set in the beautiful meadows surrounding the Fairview Schoolhouse. Bring your horse, 4-wheeler, or walk the course and enjoy the beautiful scenery this protected ranch provides. Golf entry fee is $60 and includes golf balls and lunch.
Not a golfer?
We have clubs to loan if you'd like to give it a try or you can visit the course and sit under our "clubhouse" tent to enjoy a drink, good food, and live music. Bring the whole family and enjoy a great day on the ranch!
Tickets for fundraiser lunch are $20 for adults, $8 for children.
