A group called Outside 285 is creating a trails master plan for projects that would provide visitors with better experiences. The 36-member steering committee is ensuring that all stakeholders have a voice in determining what projects will optimize recreation opportunities while still focusing on maintaining wildlife habitats. The resulting master plan will provide ways to connect trails along U.S. 285 in a region that spans Jefferson, Clear Creek and Park counties and includes Staunton State Park, Waterton Canyon, Buffalo Creek, Guanella Pass, Jeffco Open Space, Mount Evans Wilderness, national

forests and more. Colorado Parks & Wildlife has provided funding for the group to inventory existing trails, solicit input from the public, identify multi-use alignments to provide increased recreation and habitat protection, and complete a maintenance and management plan for the area. A draft of the trails plan is expected this spring. The Outside 285 planning team invites the public to respond to its survey, www.surveymonkey.com/r/ O285, to share ideas for future trail improvements and habitat conservation. The survey will be available through Dec. 16. To sign up for updates or provide comments to the Outside 285 steering committee, email Outside285plan@gmail.com.
