The Douglas Land Conservancy (DLC) is a non-partisan, non-profit, land trust dedicated to the protection of the natural character of our region and to the conservation of natural habitat and open space.
DLC was formed in 1987 through a citizen initiative in response to alarming regional growth rates that far outpaced the rest of the country. DLC works in partnership with land owners, local governments, other conservation organizations and citizens to evaluate, accept and monitor conservation easements. These easements protect large tracts of open space from development for perpetuity. DLC has permanently preserved over 18,000 acres of open space in Douglas, Elbert and Jefferson County and is a certified Land Trust with the State of Colorado.
