Here’s how innocently the Orton Family Foundation describes the Durango Comprehensive Plan,
which they helped fund and facilitate: http://www.orton.org/projects/durango_comprehensive_plan

On 04/18/2001 at an Earth Day ceremony in Boston, the EPA presented Orton and his "Vermont
Forum on Sprawl" project a Merit Award for his commitment and efforts to expand Smart Growth.
The Orton Family Foundation has a track record of collaboration with the radical environmentalist
Nature Conservancy.

In Orton’s own words on their IRS 990 they describe their highest purpose is to influence the field of
land use planning.

The Orton Family Foundation website also reveals their promotion of planning tools created by the
notorious arm of AGENDA 21, the Germany-based International Council for Local Environmental
Initiatives, which originated with the United Nations in 1990. See the web page screen capture below.
