Change does happen at Valley View! Part-time employee Mark Maes and Facilities Director Sid Clements
work on the addition to the Welcome Center lower level, which will eventually contain additional guest
amenities such as the ice machine plus a planned guest laundry facility!

Bat Information: Our bats are back!. See here for general information on the bats and the hike to the cave, or call 719-256-4315 for up-to-date info.
Most recent outflights have started between 8:00 and 8:15 pm. Nightly guided tours leave from the Oak House at 6:30 pm. Please plan on arriving at the Welcome Center by 6:15 pm to register - there is no charge for these tours!

Learn more about Land Conservation. See here for a good overview of land trusts, conservation easements, tax credits, and how Orient Land Trust works with land owners to preserve open space and agricultural land here in the San Luis Valley.

Reminder - "Party Weekend" is coming! The annual OLT Member Appreciation Weekend will be held from August 15th-17th. The August full moon is on Saturday night the 16th, so this will give us maximum moonlight to dance the night away! (Reservations are required and can be made up to 3 months in advance depending on your OLT membership level.)
