Colorado's Front Range
We protect diminishing streamside habitat, open space, and the region’s most imperiled plants and wildlife, often in the face of rampant growth and irresponsible development.
Colorado’s Front Range, extending roughly from Pueblo to Fort Collins, represents the boundary between two major ecoregions, the Great Plains and the Southern Rocky Mountains. It is the epicenter of uncontrolled growth and sprawl in the region. The Denver Metropolitan region alone is expected to grow from its current size of 2.6 million people to nearly 3.9 million by 2030.
