Seasonal opening of key Durango wildlife habitat resumes April 16th
Durango, CO - Annual seasonal closure of wildlife winter range ends today for public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and the City of Durango. These closures remained in place through April 15 to protect wintering mule deer and elk that move down from higher elevations to ride out harsh winter conditions. The agencies coordinate to identify key wildlife areas for protection while continuing to offer areas open for winter recreation.
“The public’s cooperation during the winter months helps ensure that these critical areas around Durango remain optimal for wildlife that are under increased stress,” said Chris Krassin, BLM acting Tres Rios Field Manager. “The BLM is thrilled to welcome folks back to recreate responsibly on their public lands.”
