Larimer County’s Open Lands Program is
funded by a ¼-cent Help Preserve Open
Spaces sales tax. This tax started in 1996
following a citizens’ initiative to acquire
and manage open spaces. The Open Lands
Program works with willing landowners
to preserve and protect properties through
fee simple and conservation easement
transactions. The future of OUR open
spaces is up to you!
Being a good steward of
the land and shopping
locally are a few ways
you can help.

Open spaces are managed for diverse
