Just about anything destined for the garbage or recycle bin can be transformed into the basis for a learning activity.

Colorado Open Lands is a 501(c)3 nonprofit land trust that works with private landowners to place voluntary conservation easements on their properties – earning financial benefits for landowners, helping keep land in families, and protecting Colorado’s land and water resources.

Our staff has experience in working with all types of landowners and situations, and prides itself on being advocates for landowners. We take a long-term approach, understanding that successful conservation is about more than land and water—it is about people.

Green Drinks is mostly for people working on environmental issues, but anyone can come -- people from environment groups, business, government, academia and as individuals. There is no "us and them."

Come along and you'll be made welcome. Just say, "are you green?" and we will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there.

It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts.

Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organizing network.
