History
Colorado Conifers is a family-owned and operated tree farm and nursery located on the 300-acre Covered Bridge Ranch in Montrose, Colorado. With 50 years of experience in nursery tree growing, Gary Riessen blends his tree growing lifestyle and forestry background with a unique silviculture perspective to nursery production. In 2012, Gary's daughter, Natalie, joined Colorado Conifers. Throughout high school Natalie had worked with her father in the tree nursery and farm production. Now as a CPA with over 20 years working in finance, Natalie has re-joined Gary to manage operations at the tree farm.
