Sustainability Objective:
Minimize the negative effects of development and human activities on natural systems by identifying, protecting, enhancing, and restoring critical environmental resources at all scales.
In Longmont, we enjoy a variety of parks, open space and trails that provide recreational opportunities and let us appreciate the beautiful Colorado outdoors. Our riparian areas, open space, and river corridors also provide critical habitat for an array of wildlife. We must continue to recognize the natural environment as an asset to be preserved, protected, and restored to sustain livability, healthy ecosystems, and ensure clean air, water and soil.
How We Achieve Our Sustainability Objective:
- Update the Open Space Master Plan (DONE)
- Update the Wildlife Management Plan (DONE)
