John Fielder's Ranches of Colorado

Famed nature photographer John Fielder will be speaking about his new book, Ranches of Colorado in Fort Collins! The book celebrates the scenic beauty and western heritage of Colorado's ranchland open space. Ranches of Colorado will be on sale at the event, with a portion of the sales benefiting Legacy Land Trust. John Fielder is partnering with Colorado Open Lands and Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust to raise funds and bring awareness to protecting working ranches in Colorado.

Conserving agricultural lands is part of the Fort Collins Natural Areas Program's mission and we often partner with Legacy Land Trust.

John Fielder's Ranches of Colorado will be Friday, November 20, 7 pm at Colorado State University's Lory Student Center North Ballroom. Suggested donation (to benefit Legacy Land Trust) $7.50 for adults, $5.00 for students. For more information, contact Legacy Land Trust, 970-407-1434.
