Fossil Creek Reservoir Regional Open Space was created through a partnership with the City of Fort Collins, preserving 843 acres. A mixture of grasslands, riparian, and water habitats makes this open space unique in the semi-desert climate of the Colorado Front Range. Identified as an Important Bird Area by the National Audubon Society, Fossil Creek Reservoir Regional Open Space is a crucial spot for many different species of birds. Whether a species lives here all year long, or passes through here on its migration, this open space can be a source of relative safety from the rigors of survival.
