Annual seasonal closures of wildlife winter range ended Friday for public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, Colorado Parks and Wildlife and 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.
