With thousands of acres of public land and a variety of terrain
from mountains to plains and rivers to lakes, Region 8 states have a wealth
of outdoor recreation opportunities. Many people living here also earn
their livelihood offering services and outdoor experiences to those who come
to enjoy the region's natural beauty. Outdoor recreation industries have many
opportunities to prevent pollution and every effort will contribute to the
long-term success of the business because the effects of not preventing pollution
are soon apparent.
Peaks to Prairies has established this collection of resources to address the
pollution prevention needs of these industries. The collection will continue
to grow. We welcome suggestions for additional topics and will research questions
if you do not find an answer here. For regional news about pollution prevention
and outdoor recreation, please check our news
