| Orient Land Trust is a nonprofit land trust dedicated to the preservation of Valley View Hot Springs (VVHS) and its viewshed—including natural and biologic resources, agricultural lands, wildlife habitat, open space, and historic and geologic features of the northern San Luis Valley—for the education and enjoyment of current and future generations. |
As we approach the holiday season and year end at Valley View, we wish all of you a happy, healthy and safe Holiday Season! This time of year is also the season of giving. This has been a difficult year for the land trust, as well as for many of you. We had to close the hot springs for a few months and have had to limit capacity since reopening, with additional restrictions. While closed we kept on staff as much as possible, maintained the beautiful environment and facilities, as well as completed some needed improvements. The Everson Ranch is still closed to visitors.
The closure and restrictions have created financial strain. We will remain open at a limited capacity as long as we are permitted to do so, until we are able to resume normal operations. If you are able, please think of OLT as you make your year-end donations. If you donate through Colorado Gives Day by Tuesday, December 8, an extra percentage will be added to your donation.
Be a part of our amazing community. Give a gift to Valley View!!
