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.

In 2016, Larimer County is celebrating 20 years of the Help Preserve Open Spaces sales tax with a year of fun, free activities. Get more info at: www.larimer.org/openspaces20th
