CPW invites public to ungulate research meeting in North Park

WALDEN, Colo. – Colorado Parks and Wildlife is hosting a two-hour public meeting in Walden on December 10 to discuss the continuation of a study on moose that will have a new focus on understanding the coexistence with wolves in North Park. In addition to research updates and plans, experts will be available to answer questions about wolf reintroduction planning, as well as current wolf management policy.

“The meeting length will really be determined by everyone’s questions,” said CPW Mammals Research Biologist Eric Bergman. “We invite the public to come learn more about this project as it relates to past research and why we are refining some of our research questions to put us in a more informed position in the future when we need to simultaneously manage moose, elk, deer, and wolves.”

No RSVP is required for the meeting. Capacity for public observation will be limited based on building code and is subject to change due to COVID-19 restrictions. As per State guidance, masks will be required for meeting attendees.

Details
Date: Friday, Dec. 10, 2021
Time: 6 p.m.
Location: Jackson County Fairgrounds and Wattenberg Center, 686 CR 42.
Research project to be discussed: Pilot Evaluation of Prey Survival and Distribution Following Exposure to Wolf Predation Risk in North Park, Colorado.
