Larimer Conservation District

Larimer Conservation District Our natural resources are disappearing. We're working to change that through conservation.

The Big Thompson Conservation District (BTCD) is a local organization created by the landowners of the District under state law. Our mission is to maintain and expand economically viable agriculture and forestry operations, while protecting and improving the natural resources of the constituents in our District boundaries. The BTCD works with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and o

ther agencies to encourage and assist landowners in the proper use and protection of our natural resources for future generations.

Do you encounter wildlife in your neighborhood or on your property? Join the Larimer County's Department of Natural Resources for practical, Colorado-specific strategies to manage acreage for wildlife, support local ecosystems, and care for livestock:

*Wildlife-friendly fencing and grazing practices
*How to create bird habitat
*Planting for pollinators
*Forage management to protect wildlife habitat
*Livestock protection strategies to reduce predation risk
*What to do if you encounter injured wildlife
*Zoonotic diseases and safety considerations

Managing land in Colorado means sharing space with wildlife, whether it’s deer in your garden, carnivores near livestock, or birds seeking habitat. We’re bringing together local experts, including NRCS, Audubon Rockies, Environmental Health, NoCo Wildlife Center, Greenwood Wildlife, Larimer County Extension, and Boulder County Extension to share strategies on how to support habitat, reduce conflict, and protect your animals and property with practical, real-world strategies.
