Thank You for Your Year-End Support!
From the two months of the Give! Pikes Peak campaign to Colorado Gives Day and generous donations throughout the end of 2025, your support brought in nearly $30,000 —a powerful testament to this community's commitment to protecting Central Colorado's wild places. As we close out our 30th anniversary year, we're deeply grateful.
Whether you made your first gift or your fiftieth, your generosity has been truly inspiring, and it means everything to Wild Connections and the wild places we protect together.
Your year-end support is already making a difference: • Protecting vital wildlife corridors for bobcats, elk, the American peregrine falcon, and countless other species• Restoring damaged habitats throughout Central Colorado• Advancing advocacy efforts for public lands protection• Building a stronger, more engaged conservation community
We could not do this without you.
As we step into 2026, we're building on 30 years of legacy with renewed commitment. Thank you for standing with Wild Connections.
Here's to a wild 2026, together.

Wild Connections Stands in Solidarity with our Public Lands
Our National Forests, BLM lands, National Parks and National Wildlife Refuges are at risk due to dramatic staff and resource cuts, funding freezes and extractive resource orders by the Trump administration, who are working alongside lawmakers and special interest groups to sell off federally-managed public lands.
Wild Connections stands in solidarity with the staff of our Pike-San Isabel National Forest, Royal Gorge BLM, Florissant Fossil Beds and Browns Canyon National Monuments, and the US Fish & Wildlife.
Learn More and Take Action at KeepItPublic.CO.
A new website, keepitpublic.co, was recently created by the broader community of public lands conservation organizations in Colorado as your central hub for staying informed and taking effective action to prevent the sell-off our public lands!
Our July 12 Seeding Restoration Project was a Big Success!
Big thanks to our volunteers and our partners at the Forest Service South Park Ranger District for making our 39 Mile Mountain restoration project a success!
We closed and seeded two sections, which helped improve the local wildlife habitat, while also opening up an additional 1,300 acres contiguous with the current 11,800 acre 39 Mile Mountain Roadless Area!
