The role wildlife education plays for Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers

This is the fourth of six articles written by wildlife officer Scott Murdoch that will be distributed throughout the summer. Each will come out roughly a week in advance from when wildlife officers from Park, Jefferson, Clear Creek and Gilpin counties host Coffee with a Wildlife Officer get-togethers, providing the public with an opportunity to meet their local wildlife officer and ask them questions. Times/locations for the fourth Coffee with a Game Warden sessions at local establishments on July 10 are listed at the bottom of the article.

The next time you see wildlife, know that the local wildlife officer is looking after the wildlife that you so cherish. If you would like to meet your local wildlife officer, please come with questions and share coffee with us on July 10th at the following locations and times:

Conifer: 9-10 a.m. at Dutch Bros Coffee: 10855 US Hwy 285
