What’s Important to Us

Sheep Mountain Alliance is a grassroots environmental organization in Telluride, Colorado. Founded in 1988 to protect Sheep Mountain from logging advances, our alliance remains dedicated to protecting our environment and the communities who are a part of it. We use grassroots organizing and policy advocacy to protect public lands, wildlife and water. We dispute mining activity and promote clean energy through encouraging public comment and coalition participation. In our community, we elevate inclusivity and equitable access in the outdoors to ensure that our approach to the outdoors is intersectional and community-centric. Since its formation, SMA has been the primary environmental voice for our region.
