Brush Creek Valley Ranch and Open Space celebrates grand opening

Congratulations to our partners at The Conservation Fund, Eagle Valley Land Trust, and Eagle County on the grand opening of Brush Creek Valley Ranch and Open Space. This new open space features trails for bikers, hikers, and equestrians, as well as scenic views of the Brush Creek Valley. The property spans more than 1,600 acres and builds on more than 30 years of conservation work along east and west Brush Creek. Project partners conserved the property with the help of a $3.1 million GOCO Protect grant, permanently protecting critical wildlife habitat and valuable agricultural land.
