Hey all you hot spring loving dudes and dudettes!
We want to tell you about the wonderful experience my three friends and I had volunteering with the Orient Land Trust during our short vacation from school. We helped rid the area of an invasive species, which was a rewarding learning experience. We also helped with some fire mitigation and dug a ditch to the collection box to bury a cable that will enable a new alarm system for the hydroelectric plant. Volunteering was such a blast – we were able to give back to a community that we love immensely and learn while we were at it. And who can argue with being able to soak after a long day of labor? We'll definitely be back—it was such a great time full of wonderful new people, beautiful landscapes, and new memories!
— Holly M and friends, Colorado College Volunteers
GOAL OF $150,000 FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY UPGRADE
Please donate today!
OLT members are the greatest people in the world! They believe in and have made a commitment to keeping Orient Land Trust and its holdings, among them our crown jewel – Valley View Hot Springs – the special place that it is forever. From the soaking ponds, the wildlife, the landscapes and pristine environment at the hot springs village, the nature trails, the bat out flight at the Orient Mine and the Everson ranch -- what's not to love? Our members have taken the important step to make sure that these things, and more, are preserved for future generations by becoming Members. Large capital infrastructure expenses, like the Wastewater Treatment upgrade, exceed the capacity of OLT's Operational Budget, thus our need for an Annual Appeal campaign to help fund this over-and-above expenditure. Thank you for supporting this project by contributing to this Annual Appeal. This project, while not glamorous, supports your OLT experience of serene landscapes and soothing waters with much needed renovations for life's basic necessities! Thanks for partnering with us.
Any Annual Appeal gift for the WWTP project will increase your Membership Level and related Member benefits accordingly (see Member Benefits).
When visitors come to Valley View, most are surprised to learn that we operate entirely "off-grid". All the heat and electricity they enjoy is generated here, onsite and with little environmental impact. Without realizing it, guests soak in and camp along the flowing, warm water that produces our power. It's just one of the many ways OLT connects people to our natural world.
Our flow of water varies constantly as do our demands for geothermal and hydroelectric power. Whenever our supply of power exceeds our needs, the excess energy adds heat to the Apple Tree pools. Over the last year, we've seen the Apple Tree pool temperatures stabilize with each system improvement and conservation effort. And, despite the drought, occasional rain and snow sometimes graces our system, bringing even more energy and heat.
Relying on any natural system, small or large, requires careful management. We're using The Energy Detective, "TED" to help us monitor and manage our energy. "TED" is an innovative tool which allows us to track how much energy is generated, and where exactly it is used. By accounting for our energy each night, week, and season, the TED Pro unit is helping us identify specific problems, schedule usage, and plan ahead... ultimately keeping us all as warm and cozy as possible, all year round. Best of all, this educational tool will inform us about our personal impact on these remarkable and limited resources.
OLT would like to thank The Energy Detective, Inc. for supporting us with their technology and donation. We encourage everyone to consider using these great, inexpensive conservation tools at their own homes and businesses. Together, we can save and share our world.
— Doug Bates, Information Systems
It is autumn at the springs. The warm water still bubbles up, the mountains tower above the valley, and the leaves are blowing around. The summer was busy. Rains finally arrived and rinsed the air and settled the dust. I'm feeling grateful for the springs, the people that hold us up, and the strength of the natural world. One friend reminded me that this is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Sometimes I forget to appreciate that truth. I extend many thanks to all the friends from near and far that hold this place up and contribute to this community. A sincere thanks once again to Neil and Terry for their unflinching courage and patience. I enjoyed the hours that Terry spent patiently explaining the books to me in my new role as treasurer. She can bring the numbers up quickly and find the comparisons that help to put it all in perspective. I also have a deep appreciation for all the board members and want to extend thanks to Geneva for doing such a good job since she was elected chairperson in August. All on the board are working hard. I'd like to say a quick thank you to the new members for their enthusiasm and also say thank you to the "old" members for their persistence. This place has endurance and gentle strength; I'm glad to play even a small part.
