🐻We’re excited to share that we have been awarded $110,000 to help reduce human-bear conflicts! This funding means more bear-resistant trash containers and new educational signage to keep our open spaces safe — for both people and wildlife. Let's All Live BearWise. 🐾 #COSParks

🌿 Open Spaces aren’t just for us—they’re lifelines for wildlife. 🦌 A moose spotted east of I-25 reminds us our city is part of a larger ecosystem. Protect, connect & Leave No Trace so people + wildlife can thrive together. 💚 #ColoradoSprings #OpenSpaces
