What’s Important To Us
Sheep Mountain Alliance (SMA) is a grassroots environmental organization in Telluride, Colorado. Founded in 1988 to stop logging advances on Sheep Mountain, SMA remains dedicated to protecting our environment and the communities who are a part of it. As a pivotal environmental voice for our region, SMA uses organizing and environmental advocacy to protect the region's public lands, water, wilderness, and wildlife. We engage with our community and constituents on environmental issues including forest planning, wilderness expansion, resource extraction, public lands, wildlife habitat protection, water access, and clean energy transitions. We encourage and support public comment and coalition participation, and elevate inclusivity and equitable access in the outdoors through an intersectional and community-centric approach.
