Lens has made the monitoring program at Colorado Open Lands both more efficient and more comprehensive. It allows us to monitor properties economically while providing a perspective that we cannot get with on-the-ground site visits alone.

I anticipate that Lens will make our monitoring program more resilient to unforeseen circumstances, whether it's as minor as a volunteer who drops out due to a move or a global pandemic that upends the world as we know it.

When our monitors spend less time monitoring, they have more time available to work on other important conservation strategies and tasks. Our staff are our most valuable resource.
