Abstract
We examined the social processes, values, and goals that influence landowner participation in conservation efforts through focus groups in 4 locations across Colorado. The study revealed that landowners view conservation primarily through the lens of stewardship and heritage rather than ecosystem protection, emphasizing how their land management practices aim to balance economic viability with environmental stewardship while preserving land for future generations.
