How do you value and use the outdoors? What do you want the future to look like? Share your thoughts and help identify priorities and strategies for recreation and conservation in the Pikes Peak region by attending a community listening session, hosted by the Outdoor Pikes Peak Initiative. View more below to register for a listening session near you!

The Pikes Peak region’s iconic landscapes and abundant recreation opportunities contribute significantly to quality of life and economic vitality. However, unprecedented front-range growth threatens both natural resources and recreational experiences. Not designed for sustained high use, outdoor infrastructure such as campgrounds and trailheads are overrun and insufficient for the demand. What this means is more people, more outdoor usage, different types of usage and expectation, and a greater need to work together. This initiative seeks to create a pathway of balance between preservation and recreation and we need your help!

Attend a community listening session in your area to be a part of something BIG as we plan for the future of our outdoors!
