Board, Staff, Ambassadors & Donors
Who We Are
Cherry Hills Land Preserve (CHLP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded in 2005 to inspire nature conservation and open space stewardship in Cherry Hills Village. Since late 2021, in collaboration with the City of Cherry Hills Village, Cherry Hills Land Preserve has focused on revitalizing Quincy Farm to transform this property into a vibrant community asset that connects people to nature and history.
Cherry Hills Land Preserve combines the talents of passionate, active volunteer board members and exceptional staff dedicated to the legacy and future of Quincy Farm. We couldn’t accomplish everything we do without the tremendous support of our ambassadors and volunteers.
We hope to inspire joy, promote a sense of stewardship, and spark curiosity for the natural wonders found in our own backyard. We encourage you to meet with us, come to our programs, and discover how you can get involved today.
“It is our passion and purpose
that unite us.”
In addition to our wonderful board, we are pleased to have Harold Skramstad with his lifetime career in managing historic properties as an advisor.
