March 2023:

Please donate to the new PATHS LEGAL & OUTREACH fund so we can fight the special interest lobbying group suddenly trying to grab Hughes all for themselves for a high-impact, habitat-destroying recreation mecca that only a small subset of residents can access and enjoy.

Help us fight to keep Hughes PROTECTED open space that benefits ALL members of our community EQUALLY and EQUITABLY. Every dollar counts. Thank you!

Because once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.

It’s not over until it’s over. And, we cannot do this without YOU, Hughes Open Space Supporters.

Please donate to help us defend the letter and spirit of the citizen ballot measure to conserve Hughes in perpetuity as a City-designated Natural Area, that is, protected open space, for ALL members of our community and our local wildlife populations. After years of PATHS' outreaching and listening to thousands of Fort Collins residents about their vision for the future of Hughes, the community's clear common vision for Hughes was a quiet place of solitude for the entire community (of all abilities and walks of life) to connect with nature, and to serve as an extension of a protected wildlife corridor, and a place to preserve our dark night skies in a rapidly growing town with increasing noise and light pollution.

PATHS is a 100% citizen-funded, grassroots nonprofit.

Our amazing attorneys are key to our success, and so are our continued outreach and education efforts to keep our community informed about the City’s plans for the future of Hughes Public Open Lands. These efforts cost us money.
