First statewide open space inventory released by CSU and Great Outdoors Colorado
Colorado's first statewide inventory of open space has been released by the Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) Board and the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory at Colorado State University. NREL conducted the study on behalf of Lottery-funded GOCO. The inventory provides consistent, current and comprehensive information about the status and trends of open space lands in the state and detailed maps with a comprehensive set of attributes associated with each parcel.
"This is the most ambitious and comprehensive mapping of open space in Colorado ever undertaken, providing critical information to help focus conservation resources where they are most needed and to document successful conservation," Theobald said. "But we aren't done yet. Through continued collaboration with our partnering organizations, we are striving to maintain a current and consistent picture of the unfolding conservation legacy for future Coloradoans."
