High Biodiversity Areas

The Boulder County Comprehensive Plan (BCCP) was developed to respond to the widely accepted principle that the myriad of future land use decisions affecting the county’s lands should be made in a coordinated and responsible manner. High Biodiversity Areas are areas with a concentration of rare environmental resources that represents one of the greatest opportunities for preserving specific aspects of Boulder County’s natural heritage. These areas have been identified and ranked by the CSU (Colorado State University) Natural Heritage. More information on the CSU Natural Heritage Program can be found at https://cnhp.colostate.edu/.
