Colorado Parks and Wildlife is sponsoring a Regional Sportsmen’s Caucus at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Clarion Hotel, 755 Horizon Drive.

All active hunters and anglers are invited to discuss wildlife issues with managers, biologists and agency officials during the meeting.

Caucus attendees also will select two delegates to represent the region’s wildlife concerns at the newly formed Sportsmen’s Roundtable scheduled next month in Denver.

The roundtable will provide hunters and anglers from the four regions of the state with direct access to agency officials, including wildlife commissioners

“We have always had forums for public input, but this is a formal method for stakeholders to voice their ideas, opinions and concerns early in the decision-making process,” said Northwest Regional Manager Ron Velarde.

“This gives our agency valuable input from our constituents that is critical for our wildlife management decisions and goals.”
