Boulder Draft bear and mountain lion plan out
Sep 9th
The City of Boulder is in the final stages of developing the Black Bear and Mountain Lion component of the Urban Wildlife Management Plan (UWMP) and would like your feedback! A public open house will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 14, at the West Boulder Senior Center, 909 Arapahoe Ave. The open house is being held to provide draft plan information, answer questions and solicit feedback. The draft plan is available for review at www.boulderwildlifeplan.net
The plan aims to address the following key issues:
Public communication enhancements about bear and lion activity in the urban area;
Ongoing public education on how to minimize potential human/wildlife conflicts;
Management of trash and other urban environment attractants; and
Policies and laws pertaining to intentionally/unintentionally feeding wildlife and how that affects human/wildlife conflicts.
To view the draft plan and submit feedback, visit www.boulderwildlifeplan.net. Feedback provided prior to Sept. 28 will be incorporated into the Oct. 18 City Council memo.
Accepted by City Council in 2006, the first component of the UWMP covered the management of the black-tailed prairie dog. This is the second component of the plan to be presented to council for consideration on Tuesday, Oct. 18.
