LOVELAND: Larimer County Department of Natural Resources (LCDNR) invites the community to join us as we celebrate National Public Lands Day on Saturday, Sept. 28 and throughout the preceding week.
Community members can choose between a litter clean up in the Carter Lake area or a trail construction project of the Bay to Bay Trail at Horsetooth Reservoir. The trail project is for ages 16 and above, while the litter clean up is open to all ages.
This 1,547-acre property of dramatic hogbacks and canyons, ponderosa pine woodlands and mahogany and mixed shrublands near the foot of the Big Thompson Canyon is currently being developed with limited public access.
Join us for a fun, end-of-the-season shoreline cleanup! Centennial Bass Club will be taking volunteers out in boats to scour the shorelines of Horsetooth Reservoir for litter. Be a part of the team to keep Horsetooth Reservoir clean because every litter bit counts.
Donuts, coffee & juice, and a light lunch will be provided. Registration is required. Volunteers of all ages are welcome. Youth under 16 yrs. must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Weather dependent. Volunteers should be able to walk 1 mile or less on a sloped, rocky surface.
At the edge of the mountains and the plains, Devil's Backbone Open Space serves as a transition zone for many living things. But it's not an easy place to live! On this guided hike, we'll learn about what lives here and how our native plants and animals have adapted to the harsh conditions here.

FORT COLLINS – Trail building crews from Larimer County Department of Natural Resources (LCDNR) and the Larimer County Conservation Corps (LCCC) are finishing a portion of a new multi-use trail between Inlet Bay and South Bay at Horsetooth Reservoir today, July 25. Known as the “Bay to Bay Trail,” the 1.8-mile, natural surface trail will run east from the existing Blue Sky Trail and wrap around the southern peninsula of Inlet Bay, and end at the existing swim beach at South Bay. Once finished, this trail will provide a connection between the two popular areas.
