We are sorry to announce that the Park County Resource Protection program has cancelled. Gary Nichols was to present on April 10th in the Center's Lyceum. We hope to reschedule this program at another time. Below is further information on Gary's good work.Gary Nichols has served as the director of Tourism & Community Development in Park County since 1988. During this time he has secured nearly $25 million in grants for community projects and published several articles and guidebooks of public interest. Both of Gary’s parents were descendants of Colorado pioneers and his grandfather worked for the historic Colorado & Southern Railway that served South Park. Gary holds a master’s degree in environmental quality engineering from the University of Alaska, and worked as a consulting engineer in Fairbanks prior to returning to Colorado.
His accomplishments include numerous projects designed to conserve the natural, cultural, and recreational resources upon which the Park County economy depends. In addition to establishing a fee-based ranch recreation program, Gary has been instrumental in rehabilitating several miles of riparian habitat and securing conservation easements on 20 local cattle ranches. Current projects include creating new economic uses for ten protected ranches, two railroad depots, and a 19th Century gold processing mill.
