Save prairie dogs & wildlife in Spring Gulch open space
We oppose current Prairie Dog Conservation Plan Revisions that declare Spring Gulch from Hyacinth to Stone Mountain as unsuitable for prairie dogs. This very extreme decision will result in removal of all prairie dogs in this open space which will have a negative affect on the entire ecosystem and also negatively impact wildlife watchers and Spring Gulch trail users.
We encourage the Metro Districts to find compromise solutions and to explore and implement innovative management techniques like planting barriers, constructing retaining walls and employing passive relocation to help manage these populations.
