Protecting Land Means Protecting Water

Every conservation easement we complete ties the water rights to the land—forever. This ensures that water stays in the San Luis Valley, where it nourishes working farms, sustains vital ecosystems, and supports our communities. RiGHT was founded for this very reason: to protect the Valley’s water from export schemes that threaten to drain its future.

Why It Matters:

• Keeps water local and tied to the land

• Supports agriculture and food production

• Sustains wetlands, aquifers, and riparian ecosystems

• Blocks water export threats

The Impact:
By protecting private lands, we ensure that water stays where it belongs—on the land, in the Valley, for the benefit of people, wildlife, and the future.
