UPDATE: Colorado Springs has just unveiled its 13th edition of the DiscoverCOS Calendar, a project designed to support vital reforestation efforts in the community. Officials confirm that this year’s calendar features stunning photographs showcasing local parks, trails, and open spaces, with contributions from over 100 photographers and more than 300 submissions.
Residents can secure their copy for a suggested donation of $15, with all proceeds directed toward reforestation initiatives at the Snyder Quarry in Black Canyon Open Space. This newly managed 163-acre ecological site is set to benefit significantly from the funds, which will be allocated for tree planting aimed at restoring native habitats and enhancing the area’s environmental resilience.
Kim King, the PRCS assistant director, emphasized the initiative’s dual impact, stating,
“We’re especially proud that this year’s calendar supports local reforestation efforts, allowing art and stewardship to come together for a lasting impact.”
This reflects a substantial shift from a simple collection of images to a powerful tool for ecological restoration.
This initiative not only showcases the breathtaking beauty of Olympic City USA but also empowers the community to contribute directly to environmental sustainability. The DiscoverCOS Calendar is now available, and officials urge residents to participate and support this critical cause while enjoying the artistry of local photographers.
As Colorado Springs pushes forward with its environmental commitments, the DiscoverCOS Calendar stands as a testament to community collaboration and dedication to preserving the region’s natural beauty. The next steps involve the planting of trees in the Snyder Quarry, promising a brighter, greener future for local ecosystems.
Residents are encouraged to act quickly and secure their calendars, making a tangible difference in the community while embracing the art of local photography. This is a pressing opportunity to engage in environmental stewardship and support reforestation efforts that will have lasting benefits for years to come.
