Members of public join calls for consideration of wildlife, habitat in Colorado’s North Park

By Judith Kohler

WALDEN, Colo. – Members of the public have added their voices to calls by conservationists, hunters and anglers for federal land managers to consider the potential impacts on wildlife and habitat when approving energy projects on public lands in North Park.

A total of 240 people signed petitions asking the Bureau of Land Management to use a master leasing plan, which looks at development’s cumulative impacts across the landscape, as it updates the resource management plan for the lands managed by its Kremmling office.
