Good morning COSA Listserv, the Town of Windsor has an exciting opportunity for a brand new addition to our team. The Lead Open Space and Trails Technician will be an integral part of leading the maintenance operations for the Town of Windsor’s growing open spaces and trails system.
A little bit about Windsor, nestled in Northern Colorado between Greeley, Fort Collins and Loveland, Windsor is a rapidly growing community whose residents place a high value on the importance of Open Space and Trails. In 2022, Windsor residents supported a dedicated Open Space Sales Tax and, we just purchased our first 300 acre parcel to support their vision.
For Windsor, the term Open Space often refers to lands that include protected lands of significant value that are conserved in their natural state, restored or improved with appropriate native landscaping to retain a natural or natural-appearing condition, or conserved in quality agriculture. These open spaces provide many benefits which can include:
- Mental and physical health benefits
- Conservation – Maintaining natural habitats for native species, agricultural lands and watershed areas that aid in the improvement of water quality.
- Pathways – Builds and maintains paved and unpaved paths that connect Windsor residents to key destinations.
- Community Separator – A parcel of undeveloped land separating two or more urban areas under different municipal jurisdictions which has been designated to provide a permanent low-density area preserving the communal integrity of the two municipalities.
- Restoration – Restoring, renewal, revival or reestablishment of open spaces to a former, original, normal or unimpaired condition.
- Maintaining Windsor’s rural character and creating corridors for the safe and enjoyable movement of people and animals.
