Operation Osprey

The Larimer County Department of Natural Resources wishes to honor the service commitment that Scout groups make every year. In acknowledgement of Operation Osprey and the 100th birthday of the Boy Scouts of America, the department has identified conservation oriented projects that local Scout groups can plug into.

Here is a list of available projects:

  • Create a day use area at Hermit Park Open Space
  • Construct a group use area at Carter Lake campground
  • Build a dog facility at Hermit Park Open Space
  • Trail work at Carter Lake
  • Build steps at Carter Lake swim beach
  • Build steps at Carter Lake campground
  • Tree trimming near Carter Lake
  • Build benches at Carter Lake campground
  • Refurbish flower beds at Bison Visitor Center

In order to apply for one of our Operation Osprey projects, the Department of Natural Resources requires that any Scout group interested fill out our Special Event Application. Please provide as much detail as possible.

**Operation Osprey Projects are exempt from special event fees**

**Applications must be submitted a minimum of 45 days before the project date**

Please keep in mind that there are a limited number of projects available. They will work on a first come first serve basis.
