CPW sticks to three-year timeline, for now
RBC | The 11-member Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission hosted two days of virtual meetings Jan. 13 and 14, with approximately eight of 18 total hours allocated to discussing an adaptive management plan for wolf reintroduction.
The passage of Proposition 114 last November, also known as the Gray Wolf Reintroduction Initiative, paved the way for Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) to bring wolves to the state. Colorado’s urban counties drove the measure through by 56,986 votes, 1.82% of the total votes cast.
In Rio Blanco County, 87.82% voters were against the measure.
TIMELINE
After passage, CPW honed in on a three-year plan to meet a Dec. 31, 2023, due date to begin reintroduction. This deadline was laid out in the legislation.
WASHINGTON (Legal Newsline) – The National Parks Conservation Association is suing the National Park Service for allowing off-road vehicles in the area of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
The suit, filed Jan. 19 in District of Columbia federal court, seeks to protect areas where “severe damage” has already been found at the NRA, located in Utah.
“That regulation will undoubtedly result in severe damage to Glen Canyon NRA’s resources, which in many respects are fragile and vulnerable,” the suit says.
The lawsuit notes that the National Park Service has already found that ORVs are known to affect resources like soil, water quality, air quality, vegetative communities, wildlife and watersheds.

The National Park Service said in its final rule for the plans that ATVs within designated areas would provide a new experiences for visitors while protecting the land. The Department of Interior conducted an environmental impact statement in 2017, but the results were not definitive.
Some conservationists have argued there are plenty of existing locations for ATV riders and have pushed to have the Park Service’s plans reversed.
“The National Park Service is not living up to its stewardship responsibilities, giving us no other choice but to take the agency to court over its plan,” Pollard said.
The case is currently pending in federal court in Washington, D.C.
