The conservation values of the property protected through the conservation easement include natural, scenic, agricultural, historic and/or open land resources.  Specifically, some conservation values found on properties conserved with Yampa Valley Land Trust are:

(1)  habitat for a variety of fish, wildlife or plant;
(2)  open space, scenic vistas and farmland, ranchlands and forestland; and
(3) historic lands and structures. 

 

Additionally, in support of local communities, YVLT occasionally works in conjunction with regional cities and towns. 

For example, YVLT has worked with the City of Steamboat Springs to conserve lands available for public recreational uses,

which is also recognized as a conservation value.
