NoCo Places
A Common Voice for Public Lands
Est. 2018 · Northern Colorado
The public land management agencies that participate in NoCo Places each have their own projects and plans for the areas they manage. Sharing best practices, lessons learned, and recommendations are all part of participating in the coalition. The agencies learn from each other and share ideas for potential collaboration on their upcoming projects and plans.
Below are updates on conservation and recreation plans in progress in the NoCo region.
Clear Creek County
Recreation in the Outdoors Management Plan (ROMP)
The goal of the ROMP is to create an aligned vision for recreation management, to establish management priorities, and form the capacity to help Clear Creek County protect their natural resources and provide high quality recreational amenities for residents that can support a sustainable economy. On December 19, 2023, the Clear Creek County Board of County Commissioners approved this final draft as adopted and accepted.
Boulder County
Integrated Weed Management Plan
Boulder County is updating its current weed management plans and policies. Currently, the county is operating with two plans: the Boulder County Noxious Weed Management Plan and the Boulder County Parks & Open Space Weed Management Policies and Procedures. These two documents will be combined into a single Integrated Weed Management Plan. Final draft: April 2024.
Rocky Mountain National Park
Day Use Visitor Access Plan and Environmental Assessment
The purpose of this plan is to protect and enhance the park’s fundamental resources and values and achieve and maintain desired conditions. The plan will address natural and cultural resource issues, visitor experience issues, staff and visitor safety issues, and facilities and operations issues. Photo credit: Ann Schonlau.
