Audubon International Recognition

The Aspen Golf Club is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary and has been since 1999. At that time we were one of only two hundred in the world and the fifth in Colorado to achieve this recognition. There are only 1000 courses worldwide with this certification. This program is designed to recognize golf courses that maintain and demonstrate a high degree of environmental quality. To achieve certification a Golf Course must certify in six categories: Environmental Planning, Wildlife and Habitat Management, Outreach and Education, Integrated Pest Management, and Water Quality and Water Conservation. The City of Aspen and the Aspen Golf Club are very proud of this certification and are very proud to be leaders in the community by being environmental steward.

Department Vision & Philosophy

Vision

To preserve, enhance and provide access to our recreational facilities, parks, open space and trails.

Philosophy

Scenic views of the natural environment are one of the community’s greatest assets and the reason many people choose to visit or make the Aspen area their home. Maintaining and improving easy access to public lands throughout the UGB is equally important.

The City and County have made great strides in the acquisition of open space during the last 40 years. The further acquisition of open space parcels should focus on wildlife habitat, the protection of scenic resources, trail connectivity and recreational uses.

The City and County have dramatically expanded the regional trails network in recent decades. Further trail development should focus on connections between existing trails to further improve this outstanding network for the purpose of supporting an outdoor lifestyle, easy access to outlying public lands and to provide increased opportunities for the use of trails by commuters in both summer and winter.

The City’s recreation programs and facilities have become a valuable asset for year-round residents as well as building on the community’s reputation as a center for high quality recreation. These programs and facilities must be constantly reassessed and revitalized in order to maintain one of the most valued features of the Aspen area.
