For more than two decades, Ranchlands has managed and stewarded some of Colorado’s most spectacular working lands. From the Chico Basin Ranch to the 103,000-acre Mendano Zapata Ranch, the Phillips family has consistently demonstrated a commitment to conservation, stewardship, and education on a grand scale. Guided by their philosophy “Working together to live with the land,” Ranchlands’ educational, internship, and apprenticeship programs help to bridge the gap between urban and rural communities. By empowering people of all ages and nationalities to immerse themselves in large-scale working landscapes, Ranchlands is preserving our Western culture and promoting conservation in Colorado and far beyond.
