Boulder Open Space Conservancy

Boulder Open Space Conservancy, an official non-profit partner with the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks department, inspires gifts of donation and collective stewardship projects from people like you who utilize and love Boulder's open spaces, trails and habitats. Funds raised and volunteer efforts are spent on protecting, enhancing, and preserving Boulder's legacy of open space and mountain parks for current and future generations.

Last year, the Boulder Open Space Conservancy Board of Trustees approved a new Strategic Plan that focuses on projects to serve Boulder's climate resilience goals. Projects we plan to be working on in partnership with City of Boulder OSMP in the next 2-3 years:

• Connecting Youth with Nature – Providing experiences and places for our youth to become inspired by nature and develop future stewards of the natural world.
• Climate Resilience and “Re-Wilding” our Public Lands – restoration, preservation and enhancement of ecosystems to support plant and animal communities.
• Responsible Recreation and Infrastructure – supporting world-class recreation experiences on our public lands through equitable access with trail construction and maintenance, trailhead enhancements and improved visitor amenities.
