"The Mosquito Range Heritage Initiative, through cooperative efforts, seeks to conserve unique natural areas, preserve historic & cultural sites, promote diverse recreation and develop community business opportunities." Organized in 2007, MRHI strives to coordinate and balance preservation and conservation with recreation and economic development so that the natural integrity and heritage of the Mosquito Range and the South Park community are not lost. To succeed, we need the entire community. We implement scientific research combined with hands-on education to encourage long-term responsible management of area resources; development of local, regional and national partnerships; and development of a strong volunteer network given meaningful opportunities to learn.
