Agents of Discovery

You love breathtaking views, adventure and exploring nature in our Open Spaces! That’s why you made Decode Douglas County Outdoors a community staple for 8 years. In 2025, Decode Douglas County Outdoors transitioned to the Agents of Discovery App.

Thousands joined the Agents community in 2025 – and now, 2026 promises new missions, new family-friendly adventures and surprises every step of the way.

Complete challenges to find fun new ways to experience our 65,000 acres of open spaces in Douglas County. Conquer quests, ace the trivia and explore your backyard – there are options for every age and ability to explore from home or in the great outdoors!

These programs are possible through a partnership with Douglas County Open Space and Natural Resources and Douglas Land Conservancy.

Download the App today!

The adventure begins as soon as you download the app and missions. Because you’ll explore a new open space each month, be sure to download the missions before you head out. Cell signals may be weak at some Douglas County Open Space properties.

You’ll find a new Douglas County-specific mission each month to guide you and your family through the year and help you learn why our home is one of the healthiest and happiest places in the nation.
