$2,500 Goal
Because of donors like you, in 2025, we supported the new Inlet Bay to South Bay Trail with new tools, helped give wildlife clean water at Red Mountain using Solar, and provided a matching grant to conserve 5,000 acres in Livermore. Already over a million people a year enjoy Larimer parks and open spaces. Looking toward 2026, we cannot wait to celebrate the last completed segment of the Poudre River Trail, 40 years in the making!
Over 95 cents of every $1 donated goes to creating meaningful impact as the Friends of Larimer County partner to help achieve DNR's mission to Connect People, Nature, and Place.To care for, and promote awareness of, Larimer County's parks and open spaces through financial support and educational outreach, and to serve as active partners and volunteers with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), through a commitment to protect and preserve public lands for current and future generations.
The Friends of Larimer Department of Natural Resources (DNR) are comprised of individuals just like you, who love the unique parks and open spaces of Larimer County. Originally, known as the the Friends of Larimer County Parks and Open Lands (FLCPOL); we’ve updated our name to reflect the Larimer County DNR direction.
The Friends was established in 2004 and helped raise more than $130,000 in a few weeks to ensure the purchase of Hermit Park Open Space when Agilent Technologies offered to sell the former Hewlett Packard site, located southeast of Estes Park, CO.
Today, the goal for Friends of Larimer DNR is clear: as a 501c3 non-profit we raise funds to support Larimer County parks and open spaces beyond what the Help Preserve Open Space ¼-cent sales tax initiative generates.
Individual donations through Colorado Gives Day are critical to carrying out our mission and supporting the beloved public lands that are deeply cherished and enjoyed by Larimer County residents and its visitors!
