Many communities are working to preserve their character in the face of growth, while at the same time anticipating future outdoor needs. GOCO grants help these communities produce plans to protect and enhance open space, wildlife habitat and parks –features that give towns their identity. Planning grants lead to high quality projects with a greater chance of long-term success. Local governments, land trusts, the Colorado Division of Wildlife and Colorado State Parks can apply for planning grants, which are offered twice annually.
