The Colorado Natural Areas Program has 93 designated sites that in total protect more than 250 endangered, rare, or threatened species.
Currently there are forty-two State Parks open to the public. The most recent, Staunton, opened in 2013. Lone Mesa will open in the coming years.
The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission is a layman's group of eleven members who are appointed by the Governor with legislative approval. The Board is charged with representing various geographic regions of the state while providing oversight and setting agency policy in a democratic way to assure the agency is responsive to the citizens of Colorado. This board meets every other month to review and set policy.
