GYPSUM, Colo. – The U.S. Forest Service, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and Eagle Valley Land Trust are hosting three in-person open house sessions in the coming weeks to collect initial public input on the future management of Sweetwater Lake and surrounding area. EVLT is partnering with the U.S. Forest Service and Colorado Parks and Wildlife to manage the area, which was acquired by the Forest Service earlier this fall through the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
These initial public input opportunities will help the Sweetwater planning team in the development of a long-term management plan for the area. Additional public comment opportunity will be offered once the formal planning effort begins.
Feedback at these initial meetings will be collected via comment cards and a community survey. For more information about the community open houses, please contact Bergen Tjossem at [email protected].
