Crested Butte Land Trust: the C.B. Land Trust seeks to protect the most beautiful and fragile of the undeveloped land in the East River Valley: view corridors, wildlife habitat, riparian areas, and wetlands; as well as to preserve the local ranching tradition and provide access to public land. In its fifteen years of existence, the land trust has saved or helped to save more than 3,500 acres from development in perpetuity. Some of this open space has been acquired outright while other land has been preserved through conservation easements: the owners have sold or donated the right to develop while retaining ownership of the land itself.

Crested Butte Mountain Theatre: The CBMT was started in 1972 by an energetic, talented group of people, who had the vision to see a remote community providing some of its own “culture” In its 30-year history, the Mountain Theatre has produced close to 200 plays. The theatre continues to offer a creative outlet for diversely talented people in the community: actors, writers, directors, dancers, artists, musicians, and technicians. The theatre involves as many people as have the time, energy, and a much-cherished sense of community.
