Creating Connection to Nature
Through partnerships with local organizations, corporations, and aligned members of the community, Rocky Mountain Conservancy works to fulfill its mission promote stewardship of Rocky Mountain National Park and similar lands through education and philanthropy. It is our goal to connect individuals with our majestic public lands by increasing access through programming.

Educational Outreach Events
By connecting researchers, scientists, and experts on current topics to the public through community outreach events, the Conservancy builds informal, accessible educational experiences. Events are often held in nearby communities and throughout the Rocky Mountain region.
Course Scholarships
In honor of Jan Robertson, the Rocky Mountain Conservancy board has created a scholarship fund to assist participants in Bettie Courses, an initiative to connect women to conservation efforts. Jan Robertson served on the Rocky Mountain Conservancy board for 20 years and retired from her service in October 2023. She first toddled in Rocky Mountain National Park 80 years ago. Since then, often with her husband, she’s hiked, skied, climbed, and backpacked in it so often that it’s her home. In 1990, her book, Magnificent Mountain Women came out, documenting the many women who had connected with the mountains in meaningful ways.
It is our honor to dedicate these initiatives to the work these devoted women began.
