CO CEWL is a coalition of over 40 organizations working together to address the challenges facing those working to enhance the health and productivity of Colorado working lands. Our structure consists of a steering committee who oversees the scope of the coalition and coordinates efforts with each of our working groups so that we can more effectively focus on the ways in which we can work together on key issues and programs to maximize the resources we have in Colorado to improve our soil health, biodiversity, water, and rural businesses and communities.

The CO CEWL Agricultural Innovations Groups is a self-selected group of individuals who represent various organizations who support the improvement of working lands in Colorado as well as the agricultural producers who steward these lands. The goal of this group is to share the agricultural innovations that are emerging across the industry such as production practices, business management techniques, cutting edge research, and/or funding and market opportunities. Through this collaborative sharing, the coalition members are better informed and can utilize this information to increase the adoption of these practices within Colorado and gain the attendant benefits.
