Canyon Area Residents for the Environment (CARE)

Purpose:  C.A.R.E., was formed in 1987 to be the umbrella homeowner’s group serving approximately 10,000 residents of the foothills of unincorporated Jefferson County, Colorado, bordering Mt. Vernon Canyon.  Lookout Mountain and Mt. Vernon are located on the north side and Mt. Morrison, Genesee Mountain and Lininger Mountain are located on the south side of Mt. Vernon Canyon. The purpose of CARE is to preserve and enhance the community and environment.

CARE fosters area homeowners’ associations, promotes preservation of nearby Open Space and parklands, studies and deals with nonionizing radiation concerns, wildfire prevention, weed and insect pest control, zoning and water resources. CARE has sponsored political candidates forums, tours of historic places, landscape architecture tours, and other activities of interest to area residents. 

CARE initiated the process that led to the formation of the Lariat Loop Heritage Alliance and has participated in numerous Open Space efforts.
