In 2006, the South Platte Enhancement Board (SPEB) inaugurated its Grant Program by awarding $20,000 to the Coalition for the Upper South Platte (CUSP) for the Happy Meadows Project. This project demonstrated a collaborative effort by CUSP to include the Colorado Division of Wildlife, Park County, Trout Unlimited, U.S.D.A. Forest Service, residents and private businesses to protect water quality and ecological functions of Segment B directly adjacent to Happy Meadows Campground.
