DLC protects an average of 785 acres annually
Douglas Land Conservancy (DLC) is a nonprofit made up of citizens concerned about land conservation and smart growth in our region of Colorado. Based in Castle Rock, Colorado since 1987, DLC serves primarily Douglas County. However, recognizing the importance of a regional approach in land conservation DLC has recently broadened its focus to support surrounding counties, including Jefferson and Elbert.
Today, we are actively preserving over 28,000 acres in Douglas, Jefferson and Elbert Counties. All of this is made possible because of generous support from donors, volunteers and landowners.
