A curious, surprise canyon on the plains between Denver and Colorado Springs represents a “high-value, once-in-a-generation” opportunity for conservation and recreation.
That’s how Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) — the 32-year-old agency doling out lottery proceeds to lands, rivers and trails around the state — describes projects within its Centennial Program. In its largest ever wave of funding recently announced for several such projects, GOCO granted $3 million toward a collaboration aiming to put the long-sought, privately-held Lost Canyon in the public trust.
