Care for Colorado Monthly Messaging

Help Us Share the Care for Colorado Monthly Messaging

Resources from Colorado Tourism Office & Leave No Trace:

Did you know that in the U.S. National Parks alone, over 100 million pounds of waste is generated annually? The Care for Colorado Coalition continues to confirm that trash is one of the top issues impacting Colorado’s outdoor resources, so this month’s messaging is focused on this important topic.

This month, we hope you will join us in sharing the importance of caring for the extraordinary 960+ wildlife species that call Colorado home. As springtime beckons us into the outdoors, it’s important to be aware that human activity can put extra stress on wildlife as they try to survive on depleted food supplies. Many animals are nesting, having their young or just coming out of hibernation.

Our February messaging encourages us to love our trails by focusing on the Care for Colorado Leave No Trace Principle, “Stick To Trails.” It’s important to remember that we need to Do Colorado Right and protect the 39,000 miles of marked trails we’re so lucky to have throughout our state. No matter the season or activity, all of us use trails for a similar goal, to spend time outdoors.
