Why This Land Matters

This is more than just land—it’s a living system.

The Cattle Creek Confluence is where Cattle Creek and the Roaring Fork River meet—an ecologically rich corridor that sustains bald eagles, heron rookeries, elk and deer herds, foxes, migratory birds, and trout. This land sustains riparian habitat, and is vital for biodiversity, wildlife migration, clean water, and community well-being. Recent growth in the valley has had negative consequences for quality of life. Click on the bugling Elk to see their website.
