Public Comments Needed 

To follow up on the great presentation by Jackie Corday on November 13, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is asking for public comments on the state Draft Beaver Conservation & Management Strategy. Jackie and staff from Audubon Rockies feel it is a good and necessary plan. It needs our general support and maybe some tweaks. You can read the plan and make comments on the CPW Engage platform (does require an easy sign up) at EngageCPW.org.  Click here for a a factsheet on some examples of what you might want to say. This is a great opportunity to comment on an ecosystem-based plan. Comments are due by December 17.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO MEMBERS!

Recently, scam emails purporting to be from BCAS officers have been sent to members.  Please note that no members of the BCAS Board will ever contact you to ask for your assistance in transfering funds or to buy gift certificates on their behalf, etc. Please delete these emails immediately -- do not respond, and do not click on any links that may be contained in the message. Thank you.

Brenda has been the only wildlife rehabilitator in the Montrose/Delta area and is trying to reestablish her service and maintain her license. Roubideau Rim Wildlife Rescue is a 501c3 charitable organization.  If you do not have lumber for her, perhaps you would consider donating to this worthy cause.

Volunteers Needed

We are looking for some volunteers who can drive injured raptors to rehab centers. Usually the bird is in a pet kennel and just needs a ride. Nothing hard about it.
