Hunters Welcome Expansion of Public Hunting Access on Colorado State Trust Lands

This fall, hunters will have public hunting opportunities on 500,000 acres of Colorado State Trust Lands that were inaccessible to public hunters just three years ago. This expansion of public hunting opportunity was made possible through years of hard work by Colorado Parks & Wildlife (CPW) staff, funding provided by a license fee increase, and public land owners from across the country urging decision makers to expand public hunting and fishing access on Colorado’s state trust ...

After the Merriam’s elk went extinct, enterprising hunters introduced small numbers of Rocky Mountain elk in a few key areas of the state, and in the last century their numbers rose from a handful to roughly 100,000. Today, elk are by far the most valuable big game ...

Grouse are dangerously close to disappearing in the Southern Appalachians – but we can do something about it.

Spring in the Southern Appalachians is truly awe-inspiring. Looking out over the Southern Appalachian landscape from the Blue Ridge Parkway, one sees a beautiful landscape of rolling hills and vibrant green forests as far as the eye can see. The lush, closed canopy forests that dominate the region’s public lands are no doubt aesthetically beautiful, but they lack diverse forest habitat that many forest wildlife depend upon.
