GORP Act
The Gunnison Outdoor Resources Protection (GORP) Act is comprehensive, locally-driven legislation aimed at safeguarding over 730,000 acres of public lands across the Gunnison Basin and surrounding regions in Western Colorado. Developed through over a decade of grassroots engagement and collaboration with diverse stakeholders including ranchers, water users, local governments, and the outdoor recreation community, the GORP Act seeks to achieve a balance between protecting critical natural resources, preserving traditional land uses, and ensuring sustainable outdoor recreation for future generations.
