The Filoha plan is one of two management planning efforts in the Crystal River Valley to be undertaken by Pitkin County Open Space and Trails in 2023. The other, the Redstone Parks and Open Space Management Plan, is now in draft stage. A draft of the Filoha plan will follow in early 2024. Keep tabs on the Redstone Parks and Open Space planning effort here.
The updated Filoha plan will encompass not only Filoha Meadows, but also the Grange Loadout parcel on the opposite side of the Crystal River and the Wilden property to the south of Filoha, acquired by Open Space and Trails in 2019. Penny Hot Springs, which was part of the 2008 Filoha Management Plan, now has its own, separate management plan (adopted in 2020) and will not be part of the updated Filoha plan.
The 2008 management plan for Filoha and information regarding various ecological studies conducted at Filoha Meadows Nature Preserve can be found here.
