Cool Boulder is a community-led campaign that brings the city, local organizations and people of Boulder together in partnership with nature to address the climate crisis. The campaign is focused on three action areas: regenerating absorbent landscapes, expanding tree canopies and creating connected networks of pollinator habitat. These natural climate solutions foster biodiversity and healthy soils, while absorbing carbon and cooling our city. Explore this work and opportunities to get involved at coolboulder.org.
