12-03-11 *DoW-CO News* VOTE ON THREE NEW STATE NATURAL AREAS SLATED

DENVER - The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission is expected to approve three new State Natural Areas and affirm the former Parks Board’s policy regarding the State Trails Committee during its monthly meeting on Thursday Dec. 8 in Fort Collins.

Commissioners are also expected to receive presentations regarding ongoing black bear research, mineral development potential at St. Vrain State Park in Longmont and recommendations for improving the private landowner voucher program. Following adjournment of the meeting in the afternoon, Commissioners will reconvene for a workshop to receive an analysis of Colorado park visitors, hunters and anglers and an update on the progress of the merger between the former Colorado State Parks and former Division of Wildlife.

The meeting is scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Hilton Fort Collins, 425 West Prospect Street. On Friday morning, the workshop will continue with a discussion of the new agency’s strategic priorities and vision for the future.

Since 1977, the Colorado Natural Areas Program has worked with interested landowners and volunteers to conserve the ecosystems, species, geology and fossils that are ‘uniquely Colorado.’ Commissioners will consider adding three new sites to the list of 89 natural areas that have been designated so far. The three include the 2,529-acre Miramonte Reservoir/Dan Noble State Wildlife Area, a critical redoubt of the Gunnison sage-grouse in San Miguel County; 125 acres of riparian shrub lands and wet meadows at the Haviland Lake State Wildlife Area in La Plata County; 2,240 acres of tall grass prairie and cottonwood forest along the Arikaree River in eastern Colorado owned by the State Land Board.
