The Nature Conservancy is a global environmental nonprofit organization focused on land and water conservation. In Colorado, the organization has operated since 1966, working to protect land, rivers, and forests, and supporting policies related to biodiversity and climate resilience.
The organization is a primary backer of Proposition 137, a 2026 ballot measure that would redirect existing state sales tax revenue from sporting goods and outdoor equipment to fund wildfire mitigation, watershed protection, and land conservation. The Nature Conservancy is part of the coalition that filed the initiative, alongside other environmental groups including Conservation Colorado, the Trust for Public Land, and Western Resource Advocates.
The Nature Conservancy is the largest financial contributor to the measure's support committee, Protect Colorado's Land and Water, Prevent Wildfires. As of September 2026, the organization had contributed over $1.5 million to the campaign, which represents roughly half of the committee's total funding. The organization has publicly endorsed the measure and campaigned for its passage, stating that it provides funding for conservation and wildfire prevention without raising taxes.
