Colorado Cattleman’s Agricultural Land Trust

For nearly 30 years, CCALT has partnered with landowners across Colorado to protect productive agricultural land, while conserving the natural resources that make Colorado such a special place to live and visit.

CCALT was established in 1995 by the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) and was the first land trust formed by a state livestock association — Wyoming, California, Kansas, Texas, South Dakota, and Oregon have since followed suit.

In 2019, CCALT merged with the Yampa Valley Land Trust. Under the shared banner of CCALT, the Yampa Valley Conservation Partnership was created. The partnership extends CCALT’s conservation efforts in the Yampa Valley and across northwestern Colorado.
