Why should you help?

• Because you believe Metro Denver area sprawl has crept far enough (or too far, already) towards the foothills and the mountain backdrop and foreground.
  
  
• Because you love the views of the unspoiled mesas from your neighborhood, from the South, East, West along Interstate 70, and the North along Colorado State Highway 93 and 58th Avenue.
  
  
• Because you believe in preserving as Open Space these magnificent natural monuments that provide habitat for wild animals, birds and plants.
  
  
• Because you understand the threats from irreversible development of shrinking green areas.
  
  
• Because you know that any development on the mesas will bring with it noise, air, and light pollution, along with increased traffic congestion.
  
  
• Because you know that time is running out to preserve the table mountains for future generations.
  
  
• Because you know the Jefferson County Open Space bond funds cannot buy all the worthwhile parcels that are targeted for acquisition in this large county.
  
  
• Because North and South Table Mountains are one of Colorado's Gateways to the Rockies and represent this State's appreciation of its wild spaces, even this close to one of our nation's larger Metropolitan areas.
  
  
• Because you know the health benefits of wild places within an urban environment.
  
  
• Because North Table Mountain has the last remnants of short, prairie grasslands in the area.
  
  
• Because the table mountains are unique geological formations and relatively untouched.
  
  
• Because you believe that urban sprawl for profit needs to be replaced by smart growth and stewardship of precious open spaces.
  
  
• Because you know that Colorado offers our nation one of the last opportunities to preserve part of our land as it was before it was taken over by massive Western migration.
