COLORADO BIRDING TRAIL EXPANDING TO SOUTHWEST - FishNews - 05-02-2008
The Colorado Division of Wildlife wants to hear from people in the Four Corners region about plans to expand the Colorado Birding Trail to this part of the state. An informational meeting to explain the trail and how the public can participate in this effort is scheduled for 6 p.m., May 8 at the Durango Recreation Center, 2700 Main Ave.
<br>The Colorado Birding Trail is part of a national effort to expand bird watching and conservation opportunities. Currently, 39 states have established birding trails. In Colorado, a Birding Trail is established along roads and on public and private property in southeast Colorado. In southwest Colorado more than 200 sites in 18 counties are being considered for inclusion in the trail.<br>
<br>The DOW is working with conservation groups, various government agencies and private landowners to establish bird-watching sites.<br>
<br>Anyone interested in this project is invited to attend to share expertise and insights. To RSVP or for more information, call Jennifer Kleffner, DOW watchable wildlife coordinator at (970)375-6704.
