Fort Carson Conservation Act of 2005

The Fort Carson Conservation Act of 2005 proposes a pilot program at the Fort Carson military base in Colorado to study how conservation easements and leases can manage land use near military sites. Under this bill, the Secretary of the Army would work with willing private landowners to limit urban development and protect natural habitats on properties surrounding the installation. For local citizens, this initiative aims to preserve open space and wildlife corridors while ensuring that new construction does not interfere with military training operations.
