Community Natural Area Journal

[view natural areas stories]

Share your natural area story with the world! Everyone has stories about experiences in a natural area, driving by natural areas, or even living next to a natural area. Adults and children alike, we want to read your story. What did you see? Experience? Learn? Why are natural areas important to you? Your story is part of the mosaic that is Fort Collins’ natural areas story. This is your journal, your place to share your natural area experiences.

There are a few things you need to know about the journal. On the submission page, you may enter your name as "anonymous" if you do not wish to be identified. After being submitted, your story will be reviewed (but not edited) by City staff. Then, if your story is suitable for inclusion, your story will be displayed on this Web site. Generally, stories will be posted weekly. The objective of this journal is to provide citizens of all ages an opportunity to share stories about natural areas experiences, and messages that are inconsistent with this will not be posted. For example, stories that contain the following will be considered inconsistent with the purposes of the journal, and will not be posted:

• Offensive language (e.g., swearing, ethnic slurs)
• Illegal activity
• Personal or commercial contact information (e.g., email address, phone number)
• Political or campaign messages
• Content not related to an experience in a natural area
• Content not suitable for children and youth

This is not a response format. City staff will not respond to comments or questions in your story. If you have questions about natural areas, call (970) 221-6311 or email Edith Felchle

Note:
Your story may constitute a public record subject to inspection by the public under the Colorado Public Records Act. By your submission of your story, you agree to any such release of your story to the public. Children should get a parent’s permission before submitting a story.
