Dear Neighbors and Friends

June, 2013

When I sat down to write this letter, I thought it would be interesting to see what I had written in our last biannual report. It was a good experience. I was pleased to realize how much we have grown as an organization since our last formal report to you. This growth has enabled us to be effective in the following ways.

We are delighted to have created special events that the community has embraced with so much enthusiasm. This year will be our third annual barn party and barn tour and our fourth annual children’s art event.

Consistent with the downturn in the economy, our individual contributions were down in 2012. However, our Board has been actively planning the 2013 barn tour, and we are confident we will have a banner event and a good fund raising year that will enable us to more than cover our 2013 expenses. We hope to see you at our Barn Events this fall!

We have done a great amount of work to solidify our partnerships and know that we have wide-ranging support for our land protection efforts in the Village. We have also put together an extremely strong team of experts available to work with property owners who want to leave a lasting legacy by preserving their acreage. We have highlighted these experts in the pages of this report.

Most importantly, there are a number of property owners in Cherry Hills Village seriously considering protecting part or all of their property. It is because of our efforts to increase our own organizational capacity that we have been able to help make this happen.

And, while we would all love to see lands gain protection overnight, we know that discussions between land owners and the experts take time in order to ensure that a property’s conservation values are protected and also to ensure that a property owner’s goals are met.

Once again, I thank all of you for your support. It is because of your generosity that we are able to be your voice for land protection in our Village.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Bluher, PresidentCherry Hills Land Preserve

Sydney Shafroth MacyOne of the first things readers

need to know about Sydney Macy is that she grew up in Cherry Hills Village at a time when there were still huge swaths of open space. Her paternal grandparents, Morrison and Abby Staunton Shafroth, owned the property that is now Cherry Hills Farm and the Glenmoor Country Club. Her parents, Diana and John Shafroth, owned a home on what is now the eastern edge of Glenmoor. Sydney fondly remembers riding horseback throughout her grandparents’ property, building forts in fields, and swinging on tire swings across the High Line Canal.

Being raised on a steady diet of outdoor Cherry Hills Village life is only part of the reason Sydney committed herself to land conservation work. She also spent many winters skiing in the Colorado mountains and came to appreciate Colorado’s spectacular mountain country. And she grew up during a time when a lot of Colorado’s scenery experienced growth and transformation in a family that stressed the importance of public service.

The second thing readers need to know about Sydney Macy is that she worked with Cat Anderson to create the document which outlines the Quincy Farm Conservation Easement and which expresses Catherine “Cat” Anderson’s wishes for how her property is to be preserved, a property which will eventually be the jewel of the Cherry Hills Village park system.

After graduating from Stanford, Sydney “hit the pavement” in San Francisco to find a job in her chosen field. She worked for an agricultural land trust for six months before landing a job with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in their land stewardship land holding division. “We were lean and mean in those days,” Sydney explains, “and I actually ending up doing a little bit of everything — land stewardship, fund raising, land deals.”

After two years with TNC in San Francisco, Sydney was able to return to Colorado as their State Director. During her tenure as State Director, she helped protect over 70,000 acres of land across the state and witnessed the blossoming of the land trust industry. In addition to land protected, Sydney is proud of the leadership role she played in creating Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO). Following passage of the GOCO Initiative, Sydney “made the hard decision to leave TNC. It had been like family for 17 years.”

When she began to look into new opportunities, Sydney decided she was better suited to a smaller organization. Sydney feels fortunate that she landed at The Conservation Fund, an organization started by a conservation legend, Pat Noonan. Pat was a past President of TNC and was also among the first class of

McArthur genius award winners. In fact, Noonan used some of his award earnings to start The Conservation Fund. Noonan’s unique vision was that land protection and economic development are not incompatible and can be pursued by a single organization.

“We are the only national conservation group with this dual mission,” Sydney notes. So, it is a natural for the Fund to own and manage the Freshwater Institute, a nationally recognized research facility which has developed a healthy and environmentally-sound system for raising popular fish like salmon and trout. Another sustainable enterprise under the Fund’s auspices is its New Forest Fund which buys environmentally-important forest land, such as redwood forests, then places a conservation easement on them to prevent development. The Fund manages the land for a period of time, with a goal to eventually sell the land to a private operator who must manage the land sustainably and subject to the conservation easement.

As was the case with the Quincy Farm property in Cherry Hills Village, The Conservation Fund works with landowners like Catherine Anderson to help realize their vision.

The Fund has had some notable achievements in Colorado, including the protection of 35,000 acres south of Denver along the I-25 corridor from Monument Hill north to Castle Rock. According to estimates, the beautiful open expanses one witnesses from I-25 consisted of $110 million of land, which were obtained for a cost to the public of $40 million. The Conservation Fund worked with landowners who sold or donated their land and then found conservation buyers who wished to live on large, protected acreage.

The other project Sydney sees as a great accomplishment involved the protection of historic, working ranches along the Navajo River southeast of Pagosa Springs. Complementing the ranch land are “rugged wild, and spectacular properties” which form the headwaters of the Navajo. Nearly 40,000 acres have been preserved in what Sydney describes as “a national park quality setting.”

The successes Sydney has had while working at The Conservation Fund were officially acknowledged when, in 2003, Colorado Open Lands presented Sydney with the George E. Cranmer Award, an honor given annually to a group or a person who is distinguished in open space preservation.

The Conservation Fund receives top rating from environmental watch dog ratings organizations and last year were one of the top ten non-profits in the country overall. For what she has already accomplished for Cherry Hills Village, we think Sydney is also tops.

Justin SpringThroughout his ten years with the

Trust for Public Land, Justin Spring has come to appreciate what his organization can do for the Front Range, for that part of the State where the greatest number of people live. “We do all the traditional things — wilderness and ranch preservation,” Justin points out, “but in addition to this, we focus on where people live and how we can improve the connection between people and nature.”

Justin became interested in land conservation while a student at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. The College offered classes that enabled students to interact with people in fields other than pure academia. “It was a great opportunity to engage with outside people who worked in the conservation field,” according to Justin. “I got a feel for what a land trust was.”

After a brief stint in Costa Rica, Justin returned to Colorado to pursue some kind of work in conservation. His contacts from his college days proved helpful.

Justin started out with ERO Resources, an organization of natural resource and environmental consultants available to work with businesses or other organizations on solutions that balanced development and natural resources protection.

As a member of the ERO Resources team, Justin served as a consultant to the Trust for Public Land in its work on the Cherry Creek watershed. At the time, the town of Parker was also engaged in a master planning process that included examining aspects of conservation and growth. As a result of his work as a consultant, Justin was offered a full-time job with TPL.

Justin will cite the most significant TPL projects he has been associated with as the South Table Mountain area outside of Golden and the Triple Creek Greenway at the eastern edge of Aurora. Targeted by Nike as a future plant site and beloved by conservationists, South Table Mountain had been a battleground for developers and conservationists for years.

“It was great to come in and be part of a market-based solution,” Justin explains. All TPL projects involve purchasing some real estate interest; so property owners’ needs are met. While TPL facilitates a purchase, the organization does not typically hold conservation easements itself. The South Table Mountain area is now part of Jefferson County’s open space system.

The Triple Creek Greenway includes Sand Creek, Coal Creek, and Senac Creek. This new trail will begin at the intersection of the Sand Creek trail and Colfax Avenue. When completed, it will be a 14-mile trail running through both Arapahoe and Adams Counties in an area which currently lacks major trails, yet which is projected to gain 166,000 residents and business owners in the next 20 years.

The local project Justin headed up was the protection of the High Line Farm in Greenwood Village, a property owned by Maud Duke, a well-known and long-time Greenwood Village resident. The Duke family wanted to preserve what made the property special for them--wildlife habitat and the view. TPL worked with Arapahoe County, Greenwood Village, Great Outdoors Colorado, and the Duke family to ensure funding for a portion of the value of this treasured property. Justin’s work and the Duke family’s generosity and commitment to land protection made this transaction possible.

The Trust for Public Land does the traditional land protection things, but we also focus on where people live and how we can improve the connection between people and nature.

OUR MISSION: We are dedicated to preserving the natural open lands in Cherry Hills Village through leadership, stewardship, education, and advocacy.

LEADERSHIP

The Cherry Hills Land Preserve serves a critical leadership role in efforts to preserve and enhance the natural open lands in our community. Whether responding to land owners who are interested in conservation, offering possibilities for conservation-minded developments or by leveraging resources, helping to build constituencies and initiating conversations, our leadership and knowledge promote the opportunities for land protection in Cherry Hills Village.

CHLP came into being as a result of a recognized need and because of the commitment of a small group of citizens. The need for an organization like ours was further confirmed in the findings of the Village’s Blue Ribbon Panel report submitted to City Council. Since then, our membership has grown to include many residents who have spent their entire adult lives in Cherry Hills Village and have witnessed its rapid growth. Our membership includes many residents who grew up in the Village and have returned to raise their own children in a place they love. And it includes those who have moved to the Village because of its natural beauty and who want to protect this for all time. We endeavor to be the voice and the inspiration for all of these constituencies.

Through leadership we have been able to create both local and regional partnerships. Our access to potential resources has increased exponentially, whether through gaining technical assistance, receiving expert advice on strategy, or by leveraging available funds. Our leadership role in identifying funding partners and taking the lead in garnering these funds has been, and will continue to be, crucial to most land transactions

One opportunity we have leveraged to our advantage is our membership in the High Line Canal Working Group. By advocating for preservation projects in Cherry Hills Village, we put the Village in a favorable position to secure public dollars to purchase historic and appropriate open lands close to the High Line Canal.

STEWARDSHIP

A family’s decision to preserve their land, to entrust their land to the public enjoyment, is a significant life decision. It is a decision that is, on the most fundamental level, born out of a love for the land, a desire to keep it as unencumbered and natural as possible. While all families have many different motivations for preserving their land, some of the impetus comes from the desire that future generations of the public will appreciate and enjoy the land as much as family members have.

Our commitment to stewardship is a critical part of our mission. We make this commitment to preserved properties and to our community. We work with property owners on preservation; our goal is to find a way to make their vision for their land a

6

Fulfilling Our Mission

reality. We also believe that by doing this, we make our community a healthier and more beautiful place to live.

EDUCATION

The Cherry Hills Land Preserve works to include education in all its undertakings. If our efforts are to be successful, the public must embrace the vision of land protection. It is through education that the Land Preserve can share the importance of land protection with others.

Our spring reception is primarily an educational event. This is our opportunity to present informative topics such as what a conservation easement is, how some Colorado conservation easements have come about, and how we can protect and enhance the greenway that is the High Line Canal. We use this event to highlight, and introduce our membership to organizations we partner with like the Trust for Public Land, The Conservation Fund, and Arapahoe County Open Space

An integral part of the Land Preserve’s Barn Tour is to remind the public of our proud rural heritage. It is through this tour that residents and visitors witness the importance of the equine life to the trails and open spaces that define our community. It is these rural roots that give us opportunities to preserve open spaces today.

Young at Art, our children’s art event, gives youngsters the opportunity to become more aware of their surroundings and to capture their own response to the natural world through art. We want to give young people reasons to engage in their surroundings so that they come to value the outdoors like generations before them.

Finally, in all of our printed and digital communications, the Land Preserve reminds Villagers that it is our trails and open spaces which give our community its character, charm, and value.

ADVOCACY

The Cherry Hills Land Preserve has, in our short existence, already undertaken two advocacy roles. One has been to advocate for natural open spaces. We were active participants in Cherry Hills Village’s Master Planning Process in 2007-2008, testifying before the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Parks and Trails Commission and the citizen Master Planning Advisory Committee. The Master Plan that emerged from these advocacy efforts reaffirmed the importance Villagers attach to open space. Enthusiastic support for open space was the touchstone of the process’s statistically valid survey. We continue to advocate for natural open space before those who serve on Commissions, the Mayor, and members of the City Council. We make known our citizens’ commitment to and support for open space and the value it adds to our community.

The other advocacy role we fill is that of demonstrating the natural and historic value of potential open space properties that come available for protection. We do this in several contexts. One is with our Mayor and members of our City Council. Another is through our service on the High Line Canal Working Group and Arapahoe County Open Space. We also work with potential funders such as Great Outdoors Colorado, private foundations, and our own membership. When a property becomes available for a preservation purchase, we have established a clear justification for the transaction.

A recent initiative TPL has undertaken worth noting is its work with urban areas to determine their “walkability,” through a mapping program called ParkScore. ParkScore examines a community to determine whether there is a park within a ten-minute walk for all residents. If not, TPL helps communities identify “areas that are ripe for one.”

Justin and TPL have added to more than the recreational benefits with this measure. “Study after study shows the health benefits of getting outside in the outdoors, in natural surroundings, from the lowering of blood pressure to alleviating stress levels.”

One way or another, we all benefit from the work of Justin Spring and the Trust for Public Land.

Marty Zeller Marty Zeller is one of Colorado’s

foremost leaders in conservation. Despite this, Marty will say that he got into conservation somewhat “haphazardly.” And that may be true since the conservation field was not well known in those days, and Marty was one of the original pioneers of land conservation in Colorado. So, it is not surprising, that since those early days Marty has had hands on experience in every aspect of conservation from conservation easements to conservation-friendly development to the tax credit exchanges involving conservation easement tax credits.

Marty came to Colorado after earning a graduate degree in City and Regional Planning, including environmental planning coursework and following work with the U.S. Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Once here, he then became involved in an ambitious undertaking called the Front Range Project spearheaded by then Governor Dick Lamm. The goal of this project was to determine what issues were most important to Colorado citizens along the Front Range and, therefore, needed to be addressed. The project identified the protection of Colorado’s open space as the number one issue. A group of business leaders in the Colorado Forum decided to roll up their sleeves and address the issue. Marty, who was helping to staff this project, was then given the task of determining how this could be done. “You go figure it out,” he was told.

After studying models used in other states, Marty determined Colorado needed to have its own land trust. And, so, Colorado Open Lands came into existence. Not surprisingly, Marty was tapped to run it. So, Marty served as COL’s vice president for seven years.

After a stint heading up the Vermont Land Trust, Marty learned what most people who have experienced Colorado’s blue skies learn: nothing can compare. So, he returned to the Centennial State and joined a landscape architectural firm. However, the pull toward land conservation was strong, and Marty decided he would return to the field as a consultant. He formed Conservation Partners, Inc., a land conservation and rural planning firm that

would work with clients to protect lands using community-based strategies. That was 20 years ago.

One of the things about Colorado which makes conservation work possible is that our State has, what Marty describes as “a rich menu of techniques, methods, and funding sources.” All of these things make for a broad range of conservation strategies.

Marty has been a part of numerous impressive projects in Colorado. One of his first accomplishments was the preservation of the Evans Ranch property located above Evergreen in Clear Creek County. It had been held by the Evans family since John Evans was the territorial governor of the State in the early 1860’s. Unfortunately, family members had a running disagreement over what should happen to the property, and the trust holding the property was forced to sell it. This was during a time when Clear Creek County was in a pro-development mode, and the 3,500 Evans Ranch acres were ripe for being chopped up into five-acre lots.

Colorado Open Lands stepped up to the plate. In what had been until then an unprecedented move, COL sought to broker a public/private solution that would preserve the land. This became one of Colorado’s first conservation deals. Today there are only five home sites on the original 3,500-acres, all tied together under a common management agreement and protected with a conservation easement.

Marty’s largest transaction since starting Conservation Partners was one he completed over the last year in southern Colorado that involved 200,000 acres and included the Trinchera and Blanca Ranches. “It is a pure conservation easement, so very few homesites are involved,” explains Marty. The owner who made it happen is Louis Bacon, someone Marty describes as “a true conservationist, the real deal.” Bacon himself has invested heavily in restoring this land to bring back the property’s original grasslands which had been taken over by the pinion pine and juniper, moisture-robbing species that were drying up the streams in the area. These ranches are characterized by vast stretches of magnificent land.

Marty also established the Colorado Conservation Connection in 2003, a tax credit exchange company. Colorado offers a tax incentive to people who place a conservation easement on a qualifying property. Some property owners prefer the monetary value of the tax credit rather than the credit itself. The CCC matches those landowners with people who can use and who want to purchase the credit.

We in Cherry Hills Village have been privileged to have this passionate professional currently working with a collection of local families, assessing the conservation strategy best suited to each property. While the Land Preserve stays intimately involved in these conservation efforts and with the landowners, the expertise Marty offers is immensely valuable for determining the appropriate method for land protection in each case. Marty’s services are paid in part through support from the Arapahoe County Open Space Program. Many thanks to Marty and Arapahoe County!

The Conservation Experts (Continued from page 5)

We are fortunate that the State of Colorado has been a real leader in the field of conservation. It has provided us with a rich menu of techniques, methods, and funding sources.

Experts in the field of land conservation know what members of the Cherry Hills Land Preserve have learned over the years since our formation: land conservation takes time and persistence. The reason the road to land protection is often winding relates to the unique design needed for each property, for each land owner, and for every conservation purchaser. However, certain critical decisions will drive which path is appropriate for each property.

First of all, let’s assume you are a land owner who wants to preserve your property. At this point, you must consider their critical decisions:

z What are your hopes and dreams for the property during your life and after your life;

z What value must you realize from the property, if any;z Do you have tax and estate planning considerations;z Do you plan to continue to live on the land and, if so, for how long;z What are your thoughts about public access;z Could your land be divided into a development area and a protected area.

Thoughtful consideration of these questions will drive which of many options might be appropriate for your property. Most land protection falls into two categories. One is a land donation or sale (a fee title transfer), in this case, to the City of Cherry Hills Village or the Cherry Hills Land Preserve or another conservation entity that will own and care for the land. Keep in mind, that your land can be protected from further development and you may be able to realize full value of that land.

The second option is to grant a conservation easement. With a conservation easement, the landowner continues to own and maintain the land but gives up some portion of the development rights. And, sometimes, the best path might involve a partial fee simple purchase along with some portion of the land protected in a conservation easement.

With both options, there are numerous scenarios that can be tailored to a family’s needs and desires that meet the goal of preserving open space. Both land donation and conservation easements provide tax strategies that will often provide a significant benefit. It is important to meet with an attorney and/or tax specialist to determine the exact tax benefit in each situation. Often the total value of the gift is tax-deductible against income tax, capital gains, or can be used as part of an estate plan. We are prepared to direct you to an expert who can help you evaluate your best option.

To look at a number of conservation tools that could be appropriate for landowners in Cherry Hills Village, go to our website, www.CHVLP.com, or contact a member of our Board for more detailed information.
