Invest in the Future of Outdoor Recreation
Protecting the places that define Grand Valley life — and elevating the businesses that make the experiences possible.
The Why
Outdoor Recreation is Our Economy — and Our Identity
Demand for recreation will continue to outpace infrastructure. Without coordinated planning and stewardship, access, experience quality, and the landscape itself are at risk.
Use is rising
Trails and rivers face record demand
Infrastructure gap
Maintenance funding lags behind need
Shared responsibility
No single entity can solve it alone
