Colorado Youth Outdoors receives 131 acres of donated land
DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado Youth Outdoors said it has been donated 131 acres of land near its existing facilities in northeast Colorado.
The nonprofit youth organization said Tuesday that the plan is to put the land — which was donated by Chevron — into a conservation easement with the help of Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust.

The donated land is located east of US Highway 85 and Weld County Road 114 near the town of Nunn, according to CYO, which said the property will allow it to “further its mission of building adult and child relationships through outdoor recreation.”
CYO said placing the land in a conservation easement, meanwhile, will make sure that it remains both undeveloped and conserved “into perpetuity.”
“This new property will allow CYO’s mission and vision to reach many more Colorado families,” the organization said in a news release.
CYO said the land donation was part of Chevron’s “Comprehensive Wildlife Plan.”
