“2008 Conservationist of the Year” Awarded to Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch
August 14, 2008
The Big Thompson Conservation District has named Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch as the 2008 Conservationist of the Year for the Upper South Platte Watershed. The annual award acknowledges one LarimerCounty landowner who has utilized techniques that conserve land and water.
According to the Big Thompson Conservation District, Sylvan Dale’s conservation efforts improve irrigation systems that reduce the demand for electricity, lessen the amount of water needed, and reduce labor required for irrigation. The guest ranch has also protected more than half of their 3,200 acres with protective covenants and conservation easements, protecting the land from development in perpetuity.
The award was presented to David Jessup of Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch at the opening of the Larimer County Rodeo last week.

Guided Rock Climbing at Sylvan Dale
Because of your enthusiastic response to the addition of skeet shooting, we have expanded activity choices at Sylvan Dale to include rock climbing. We are very fortunate to have a company out of Ft.Collins who will be heading up this new adventure on south facing granite cliffs of Green Ridge. They will be providing experienced instructors and all the climbing gear. The anchors were installed. Now all we need is you!
