ABOUT US

Senator Mark Udall

“Colorado Nature League is charting a new future for Colorado’s wildlife.”

- Senator Mark Udall, Honorary Chair 

We represent over 200,000 Coloradans, bringing together conservationists, scientists, sportspersons, and nonprofits to protect, conserve, and restore Colorado's native wildlife and habitats. Our collaborative, science-driven approach educates the public and policymakers, advocates for effective wildlife management, secures new conservation funding, and partners with state and federal agencies, all while respecting the balance among wildlife, people, and the economy.
