Gunnison Valley’s Environmental Leader

High Country Conservation Advocates is a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to protecting the health, integrity, and beauty of the public lands, waters, and wildlife of Colorado’s Gunnison Country.

HCCA developed public lands and water programs to protect these precious resources, upon which our local economy depends.

As an outgrowth of this work, we have become Gunnison County’s environmental leader, protecting public lands, water, and wildlife in an area that covers more than 3,500 square miles–Gunnison County alone is comprised of over 80% public land and the Gunnison River is the 5th largest tributary to the Colorado River.

We are an advocacy organization that collaborates with local stakeholders and policymakers, applies sound science, educates, and upholds the environmental integrity of our community. We recognize that environmental sustainability is the key to a healthy economy.

We advocate for protection along the high alpine tundra of the Raggeds Wilderness and Collegiates, past the steep cliffs of the Black Canyon, from the North Fork of the Gunnison River’s rolling scrub oak hills and aspen groves, to the rushing waters of the Lake Fork. Our work ensures these iconic public lands and waters will be healthy for generations to come.

High Country Conservation Advocates is a 501c3 non-profit EIN# 84-0772688
