LeValley Ranch receives conservation award

LeValley Ranch has been selected as the recipient of the 2023 Colorado Leopold Conservation Award.

The LeValleys raise beef cattle in Delta and Montrose counties. The conservation practices they have implemented are improving wildlife habitat, water quality, and soil health.

“This year, we recognize the LeValley Ranch’s foresight to cultivate long-term management practices that will ensure their lands are productive well into the future,” said Erik Glenn, Colorado Cattlemen’s agricultural land trust executive director. “Their community involvement and leadership are both admirable and representative of the efforts of Colorado’s farm and ranch families to not only produce healthy food and fiber but also improve and sustain ecological landscapes and Colorado’s rural communities.”
