List of Colorado natural areas

(Redirected from Colorado Natural Areas Program)

The U.S. State of Colorado has designated 96 natural areas of the state for special protection, as of 2023.[1][2] The Colorado Natural Areas Program was established in 1977 to preserve and protect special areas of the state with distinctive flora, fauna, ecological, geological, and paleontologic features. It is a program of Colorado Parks and Wildlife that identifies and protects public, and in some cases private, areas with at least one unique or high-quality natural feature of statewide significance. Land management agreements are made with landowners concerning private property.[1]
