Pagosa Area Recreation Coalition Strategic Recreation and Conservation Plan 2026

The Pagosa Area Recreation Coalition (PARC) Strategic Recreation and Conservation Plan presents a collaborative, landscape-scale strategy to guide sustainable recreation and conservation efforts. It is built on three core guiding principles: healthy and resilient landscapes, sustainable and accessible recreation, and thriving and connected communities. The plan aims to align investments, improve coordination, and support long-term stewardship across jurisdictions, addressing growing recreation pressures and natural resource concerns. It outlines a criteria-based project prioritization framework and future project concepts, clarifying PARC's role in fostering collaboration, securing funding, and enhancing public information to achieve a resilient recreation system that supports both community well-being and the long-term health of the landscape.
