The Spanish Peaks–Purgatoire River Conservation District is a local organization formed by landowners to support the stewardship of soil, water, and other natural resources in its area. It works with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Colorado State Forest Service, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and other state and federal agencies to make technical assistance and information available to landowners. The district coordinates technical, financial, and educational resources to address the needs of local land managers, while supporting conservation and productive land use for the benefit of landowners, the public, and Colorado’s wildlife.

Its programs include cost-share assistance, noxious weed resources, and other conservation initiatives. The website provides a Las Animas County weed guide and information about the district’s board, meetings, agendas, records requests, and history. It also lists equipment rental and bids. Based in Trinidad, Colorado, the district shares updates through an email list and Facebook, and provides contact information for its district manager and noxious weed technician.
