Schwartz has committed much of his career to land preservation and conservation of natural resources, which Gov. Bill Ritter said will suit him well on the 17-member board that determines how a portion of lottery proceeds will be used…
Schwartz has served on the boards of the Colorado Conservation Trust and the Rocky Mountain chapter of Environmental Defense. He helped develop Boulder’s growth-management plan and represented several Colorado municipalities during development of their land-use plans.
