In 2007 and 2008 John Fielder traveled to photograph 50 of Colorado’s most beautiful multi-generational
working cattle ranches, most already protected from development. The resulting book Ranches of Colorado
will play a part in the protection of other ranches. The project is a partnership of Fielder, Colorado’s preeminent outdoor photographer, and the Colorado land trust community including Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust, Colorado Open Lands, and the Colorado Coalition of Land Trusts. These organizations
earn royalties from each copy of the book sold.
