(DENVER) – The Colorado Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced today an expansion to several new social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and Bluesky as part of our ongoing commitment to enhance public engagement and improve communication with Colorado residents on the importance of Colorado’s natural resources and our programs and priorities.
We aim to broaden our digital reach and provide diverse channels for sharing critical information about Colorado's natural resources, conservation efforts, and environmental initiatives while supporting the department's strategic priorities: advancing biodiversity, balancing conservation and recreation, facilitating the energy transition, enhancing tribal engagement, and strengthening climate resilience.
As Colorado nears its 150th year of statehood, we recognize the need to respond strategically to our state’s growing natural resource challenges. By connecting with Coloradans on a diverse array of social media platforms, we hope to better inform, educate, and engage with the public on pressing environmental matters that affect our state and greater inform the public on our Divisions activities and accomplishments.
