Discover what CCA is all about.
Our Programs
whether it’s Education, Outreach, or Stewardship, CCA is making an impact across the Western SLope through our diverse Programs.
Land Education
For over a decade, CCA has been turning our National Conservation Areas into outdoor classrooms for thousands of students from Mesa, Delta, and Montrose counties! Local K-12 students have the opportunity to connect to the outdoors by learning about a variety of topics in a hands-on, exciting, and standards-based way.

River Education
Since 2018, CCA has been providing unique and meaningful river education experiences for hundreds of students each year! Local students get to float the Colorado and Gunnison Rivers on day-long and overnight rafting trips with the opportunity to stay at our riverside science and adventure camp, Catalpa. This unique experience allows students to connect to their public lands in exciting ways!

Stewardship
CCA works with the Bureau of Land Management and many other partners to improve the ecosystems of our NCAs. We conduct programs that clean-up trash from our waterways and trails, restore native habitat, and promote responsible recreation.

Outreach
From hikes and lectures to rafting trips, CCA's outreach program focuses on the scientific significance and cultural heritage of the NCAs. By educating the community on the importance of our NCAs, CCA hopes to foster a deeper connection between visitors and the land.
