Preserving our open spaces, native habitats and
recreational opportunities
Boulder County residents have
pledged their support for open space time and again through approving a
number of sales taxes and bond issues.
These funds allow Boulder County
to preserve its character and the beauty of its rich vistas, natural
habitats, native plants and wildlife, agricultural properties and
mountain environments.
Money raised by these sales
taxes support acquisition of open space by allowing the County to
purchase new open space properties as well as pay off bonds that enabled
earlier open space purchases. The funds also pay for programs that help preserve habitat, provide
educational and recreational programs and create and maintain trails.
