Grizzly Peak Consulting has led and created the updates of several CMPs, including the Trail of the Ancients CMP in partnership with the CDOT and Mesa Verde Country.

Corridor Management Planning

We specialize in writing and updating Corridor Management Plans (CMPs) for America’s scenic and historic byways. Our plans are grounded in conservation, community input, and practical implementation — tailored to each byway’s unique character and challenges.

From initial stakeholder engagement to final publication, Grizzly Peak Consulting brings decades of experience in conservation and outdoor recreation planning to every CMP we create. Whether you’re pursuing designation, seeking grant funding, or updating an older plan, we can help you craft a CMP that meets federal guidelines and reflects your byway’s vision.

Interpretive Planning & Writing

Helping people connect with the landscape starts with a story well told. At Grizzly Peak Consulting, we craft interpretive content that educates, inspires, and deepens the visitor experience. Whether it’s developing text for a sign, shaping the flow of an exhibit, or outlining interpretive goals for a site or trail, we support organizations in bringing meaning to place — with clarity, creativity, and purpose.

Education & Outreach

Whether you’re engaging the public, empowering volunteers, or inspiring future stewards, we design education and outreach strategies that connect people to place. With decades of experience in natural resource education, we bring clarity, creativity, and impact to your message.

From interpretive programs to classroom resources, we help organizations communicate science, history, and conservation in ways that are meaningful, accurate, and accessible. Whether you’re starting a new initiative or improving an existing one, we can help shape your strategy, materials, and delivery.
