MISSION
Boulder Open Space Conservancy is a non-profit organization that protects, enhances, and preserves Boulder’s natural legacy of open space and mountain parks for all our citizens and visitors, for current and future generations. HISTORY
BOSC was established in 2017 through a public-private partnership with the City of Boulder’s Open Space & Mountain Parks (OSMP) to leverage public resources with private philanthropy to fulfill its mission. Each will bring the shared goal of better fulfilling the charter for OSMP with mutual trust & respect, diverse skills, and strengths. VISION
To protect and preserve Boulder’s greatest asset: our open space, ensuring vibrant and healthy public land and community forever. GOALS TO SUPPORT OSMP
Uphold the City of Boulder Charter purposes. Implement the strategies of the OSMP Master Plan. Reduce historical reliance on sales tax revenue by diversifying revenue streams to benefit OSMP programs. Strive for a fully inclusive environment where all community members are welcome, feel safe, and may enjoy the activities OSMP offers. Plan today for the challenges of tomorrow by creating innovative solutions and undertaking resilience-building activities and technological solutions. Inspire collaboration within the entire community including individuals, business/corporations, educational institutions, and other non-profit organizations to establish a strong and broadening foundation of financial support and resources. Strengthen opportunities for a community-based approach to conservation and program development, leading to stronger, healthier communities, economic vitality, and an enhanced open space visitor experience.

“My hope for the environment, for all things living, and all things good, just nature in general, [is] that we should pay more attention to how we’re treating our mountains, how we’re treating our world, how we’re just treating everything,” Dolly Parton said in an interview with National Geographic on April 6, 2022.

Today, we lost a true American icon—a global country star, a philanthropist, and a genuinely good person. Today, Dolly Parton passed away at age 80 in her home in Nashville, Tennessee.

Today is a sad day.

Dolly spent most of her life helping other people, from getting kids to read books—"If I’m remembered 100 years from now, I hope it will be not for looks but for books"—to providing financial aid to wildfire and hurricane victims, and funding infectious disease research.

She did amazing conservation work too, particularly for bald eagles and other birds of prey in her beloved Great Smoky Mountains. The Eagle Mountain Sanctuary at Dollywood has helped educate millions of visitors about wildlife conservation, as well as release more than 400 bald eagles into the wild.

Since her early childhood, butterflies have also played a pivotal role in her life—"I always related to them because I felt like they meant well, they were harmless, and they were colorful—kinda like I think that I am." Dolly's businesses actively support monarch butterfly conservation by providing food and habitat.

She led by example.

She led with kindness, with optimism, with a smile, and with positivity. She offered hope and she offered help.

“I make a point to appreciate all the little things in my life,” she wrote in her 2012 book “Dream More: Celebrate the Dreamer in You.” “I go out and smell the air after a good, hard rain. I re-read passages from my favorite books. I hold the little treasures that somebody special gave me. These small actions help remind me that there are so many great, glorious pieces of good in the world.”

Legend.

We are honored to partner and work with Curtis Jones, the Mt Sanitas Mad Hatter Project - Random Acts of Kindness, as he creates a community of kindness, joy, connection, and now stewardship, as he gives away one hat at a time on our beloved Mount Sanitas. We have seen that kindness fosters kindness, giving fosters giving, connection fosters connection, and we all benefit from all of this, so let's keep moving it all forward and onward! So much thanks to Curtis for his whimsy generosity, boundless energy for good, and care for our trails, parks and spectacular public lands in Boulder! To join Curtis and so many others in giving back with a tax deductible gift of donation, go to https://bosc.org/donate/
