Each January, a small and invaluable team of volunteers helps tie up the loose ends from the prior year’s monitoring visits by assisting with some computer tasks. This opportunity gives volunteers a “sneak peek” at our 178 conserved properties across Southwest Colorado. If you are available to assist for 8-10 hours over the next few weeks, please reach out to Stewardship Director Christy Curd at christy@lposc.org.
Wildlife-Friendly Fencing Makes a Difference
Photo: Colorado Parks & Wildlife LPOSC works hard to ensure that its conserved properties utilize wildlife-friendly fencing whenever possible. A recent Durango Herald article demonstrates why fence designs are important, and the potentially unfortunate consequences of hazardous fencing.
