Larimer County Department of Natural Resources' mission is to connect people, nature, and place.  Our vision for the future rests on the belief that healthy landscapes support healthy people.  Since 1954, Larimer County has acquired and conserved a vast network of public and private lands. The community's love of the outdoors has played a vital role in this growth. Today, Larimer County Natural Resources offers thirteen properties for recreational access and enjoyment and has conserved over 56,000 acres of land within its boundaries.  Learn more 'About Us'
