The Future Generations Act grants the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission authority to enact modest increases to state park entrance fees and in-state hunting and fishing licenses to address projected funding shortfalls of $30 million annually for wildlife and $11 million annually for parks by 2025.
Our ten goals to fulfill by 2025 are:
-
Grow the number of hunters and anglers
-
Expand public and private land access
-
Increase big game populations
-
Improve wildlife populations
-
Increase the number of fish stocked
-
Plan a new state park
-
Maintain our dams
-
Engage all outdoor recreationists in funding and conservation
-
Recruit and retain qualified employees
-
Maintain and improve parks and wildlife areas
The 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 Future Generations Act reports highlight CPW's progress towards fulfilling 10 goals.
