Colorado Parks & WIldlife would like to invite you to join the Partners in the Outdoors community as we continue to explore the complicated relationship between conservation and recreation in our state. At this year’s virtual conference, we will continue our efforts to advance the priorities identified in Colorado’s Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) while also supporting Colorado’s Outdoor Principles.
Beginning Thursday, April 22nd, the conference will kick things off by featuring two remarkable keynote speakers including (Free registration for ALL sessions & keynotes):
