Recipients include projects focused on food waste reduction, textile reuse, construction material salvage, and community repair events.<\/p>\n<p>Volunteers contributed over 9,756 hours to this program last year. The Parks &amp; Open Space coordinates with 8 nonprofit partner organizations throughout Boulder County to deliver services.<\/p>\n<p>Environmental review of the project area near CO-72 Peak-to-Peak Highway found 12 sensitive species and 4 wetland areas requiring mitigation.

Boulder County&#8217;s Via mobility program provides door-to-door transit service for residents in Lyons and surrounding communities who cannot access fixed-route bus service. RTD routes B, J, and BOLT serve major corridors.<\/p>\n<p>Climate considerations are central to this effort. Boulder County&#8217;s 2025 Climate Action Plan sets targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 66% below 2005 levels by 2030. This project contributes to those goals through energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy integration, and reduced vehicle miles traveled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boulder County&#8217;s Resource Conservation Division has awarded $50,000 in grants to five local organizations through the 2026 Circular Economy Fund.
