☀️ June Brings the Warmth of Summer to the Grand Valley!

Summer is here, and the Grand Valley is buzzing with life and activity! June marks the start of a season filled with growth, hard work, and the opportunity to connect with our land and community.

With irrigation in full swing, fields are thriving under the sun, and local producers are busy bringing the best of our region to life. At Mesa Conservation District, we’re focused on supporting these efforts through conservation initiatives, resource planning, and sustainable practices that benefit both people and the environment.

This season is a time to celebrate the beauty and abundance of our working landscapes while planning for a resilient future. Let’s embrace the energy of summer and the possibilities it brings for our land and community. Together, we’ll make this season one of progress and growth! 🌾

Working for you and with you

Since 1937, Colorado’s 77 Conservation Districts have represented private landowner’s interests in conservation planning and practices. We can access a wide variety of funding sources to facilitate local conservation programs that improve soil health, water quantity and quality, clean air and energy efficiency.
