Sample Newsletter Blurb
Colorado voters passed Proposition 114 last year directing the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) Commission to begin the planning process to reintroduce gray wolves west of the Continental Divide no later than December 2023. CPW and Keystone Policy Center recently announced a slate of in-person, open house public listening sessions that will give Coloradans opportunities to engage and provide substantive input and feedback into the gray wolf restoration and management planning process. A total of 14 in-person open house public listening sessions will be conducted in July and August in regions throughout the state. The dates, locations, details about all public meetings, and other information are available at wolfengagementco.org.



Haven't been on w you fine gentlemen in awhile. I'm still CPW Roundtable representative, and this may be of interest to CO residents and hunters.

I plan to attend, but like most CPW meeting like this. Everything has been decided. Dan Prenslow (sp) is now the CPW Director and he is Polis's yes man.
Polis has come out favor of the intrdcttion and wants wolves on the ground before 2023

Thanks for the heads up Elkduds. But, this will be a strictly informational meeting . As with all CPW meetings, you will probably be allowed to express your concerns but they will go in one hear and out the other. Everything will be cut and dried before the meeting even starts. JMHO!!

BOTH informational meetings on grizzly I attend turn into something else
( trying to satiate the nut jobs in cutie bear suits)
I get my name on the email list. Quietly sit up front, shirt and tie.
After meetings I'll share my position.

Do you know if any of these meetings will be able to be viewed virtually?

I would like to hear what is said but being 1800 miles away attending this is not going to happen for me.
