Exciting News! Colorado Fourteeners Initiative had an amazing series of events last Friday with not just one, but THREE major wins. Here's what went down:1. Governor Jared Polis signed the bipartisan Senate Bill 58 into law. This legislation is a huge step forward in protecting private landowners who generously allow free public access to their land for recreational purposes. Thank you to everyone who helped bring this bill across the finish line!2. Great Outdoors Colorado - GOCO made a whopping $68 million announcement through the new Centennial program, and guess what? $3.2 million was awarded to National Forest Foundation, Chaffee County, Envision Chaffee County, and CFI for a multi-year project on the 14ers.3. Colorado Parks and Wildlife awarded CFI a generous grant of $250,000 for Phase II of the Mount Shavano Trail Reconstruction Project.We are so honored to be a part of all three of these major initiatives!
