On December 17, the Lefthand management process stakeholder group gathered for its fourth and final facilitated meeting. This session, led by Keystone Policy Center, focused on discussing what comes next for the future of Lefthand Canyon.
While the process provided valuable insights and collaboration, it did not result in a final decision. There is still much work to be done to determine the best path forward for managing Lefthand Canyon. Keystone Policy Center will compile a non-binding report for the Boulder Ranger District, expected to be completed by the end of January.
What’s next? The stakeholder group has agreed to continue meeting without a paid facilitator, following a model similar to the Boulder County Fireshed Collaborative. This approach will allow ongoing collaboration and discussions among the diverse stakeholders invested in Lefthand Canyon’s future.
At BMA, we’re committed to the long haul. We’ll remain actively involved in this process and continue to advocate for recreation opportunities that align with environmental stewardship and community goals.
