Colorado Buys Tolland Ranch for Wildlife, Recreation

Colorado Acquires Tolland Ranch for Wildlife Preservation and Public Recreation Colorado has purchased the Tolland Ranch, a 3,314-acre property adjacent to the Eldora ski area, with plans to transform it into a new wildlife area for recreation and conservation. The state, along with the Conservation Fund and Great Outdoors Colorado, contributed to the purchase, with funds coming from habitat stamp fees and lottery money. The Toll family, who owned the ranch for four generations, allowed public access to mountain bike trails and Eldora Nordic ski trails, which will continue. The land serves as a crucial migration path for elk herds and hosts various wildlife species, including deer, snowshoe hares, red foxes, coyotes, and ducks. Anglers will enjoy top-notch trout fishing in the creek and ponds. The property, which sits next to the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest, provides a new public spot for hunting and fishing seasons, preserving the area for future generations.
