Left Hand Outdoor Challenge

The Left Hand Outdoor Challenge is a program designed for Boulder County-area teens ages 14-18 and seeks to teach them about various careers in natural resources as well as to develop new outdoor skills. The program gives young adults the skills necessary to become stewards of open space lands. The Foundation helps provide the operating budget needed for this amazing program to run effectively and impact Boulder County area teenagers.

Field Trip Transportation

Parks & Open Space offers free education programs to students in the Boulder Valley and St. Vrain Valley school districts. But sometimes the transportation costs for buses to the sites can be prohibitive. The Foundation provides funding for schools that need assistance covering bus costs. Each year, we make it possible for hundreds of students to attend places like the Walker Ranch homestead, the Agricultural Heritage Center, Walden Ponds, and Heil Valley Ranch. This allows students to experience the hands-on learning and nature immersion at these sites.

Volunteer Naturalist Center

Nearly $400,000 was allocated to remodel the Volunteer Naturalist Center at Walden Ponds Wildlife Habitat. The project included replacing the center’s roof, installing energy-efficient skylights, painting the exterior, adding Wi-Fi, replacing the HVAC system, and conducting a site survey for a future interpretive storage building and a small picnic/program shelter adjacent to the center.

Portable Sawmill for Historic Restoration

The Foundation purchased a $15,000 portable sawmill, which staff use to produce custom lumber from logs gathered through forestry thinning projects. This lumber is then utilized in the restoration and preservation of historic buildings.

Cal-Wood Fire Restoration

Parks & Open Space used helicopters to quickly stabilize the soil at Heil Valley Ranch after the devastating fire. Donation funding was critical since the soil was in danger of erosion and flooding. Soil stabilization prevented the loss of trails, parking lots, vegetation, and other infrastructure.

And Many More

These are just some of the many ways the Foundation helps support Boulder County Parks & Open Space. We are always looking for new opportunities to help conserve natural, cultural, and agricultural lands.
