Larimer Unlocked
Join us for a private nature walk with Department of Natural Resources' naturalist staff through our beautiful landscape. During our walk we will explore how this 64,000+ acre department really works, learn about exciting new properties not yet open to the public and finish with dinner and a meet and greet with DNR Staff. If a hike is not your speed, feel free to register and join us for the meet and greet and dinner starting around 6:30 p.m. Dinner will be provided. All community members are welcome (must be 12 and older), but registration is limited, so register today for this free event.
