DENVER - Sportspersons from across Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s Northeast Region are invited to a virtual caucus meeting with Regional Manager Mark Leslie and staff to hear updates from CPW on hunting, angling and other topics within the region.

The Northeast Region Sportsperson’s Caucus is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 9. Folks wishing to participate in the ZOOM meeting can do so by registering here. The Sportsperson Caucus will also simulcast online over CPW’s YouTube channel.

Attendees of the meeting will elect one delegate that will serve as a regional representative at the statewide Sportsperson’s Roundtable. This elected individual will be one of two representing the Northeast Region on important issues at the statewide level. Nominations for the regional delegates are currently being accepted and during the Feb. 9 meeting, voting will take place to elect the new delegate.

To apply to be a regional delegate, please email Chasta LaBass at [email protected]. The deadline to apply is Monday, Feb. 7.

Regional delegates have the opportunity for direct communication with CPW and Director Dan Prenzlow about hunting, fishing and other issues in the northeast region. Regional delegates will be expected to attend the statewide Sportsperson’s Roundtable that meets twice a year. The next statewide meeting is being held on Saturday, March 5 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

CPW relies on the roundtable to help give guidance in setting policies, regulations and resource management.

During the Northeast Region Sportsperson’s Caucus, staff from CPW will also be presenting on the following topics and will field questions from participants:

• The public process on preference points, license allocations, over-the-counter licenses and the ongoing big game attitude survey

• Update on wolves

• CPW’s purchase of the Colorado Clays Shooting Park

• Status update on big game herds in the region

• Keep Colorado Wild Bill (SB21-249) implementation

• CPW’s 125th anniversary celebration

• Other updates

• Questions from attendees

 

“Meeting regularly with the hunting and angling public in our region is invaluable,” Leslie said. “We appreciate the time sportspersons take to join us for these meetings. This is an opportunity to have knowledgeable staff members available to provide important updates and to answer questions.”

The caucus will begin at 6 p.m. and run no later than 8 p.m.
