Fifth grade wildlife art contest winners!
Hey! It’s a follow-up guest post from Deanna Williams, USFS Wildlife Biologist & Angela Mundt, USFS Wildlife Technician!
In an effort to promote awareness of watershed protection, wildlife conservation and the rules of the trails, the Boulder Ranger District of the Araphoe-Roosevelt National Forest held an art contest for local fifth-grade students. Â The winning art will be incorporated into educational trail signs.
The project was inspired by efforts to repair miles of a sensitive stream-side area that had been polluted by undesignated trails causing damage to plants, wildlife and introducing pollutants into the Boulder Creek watershed.
