  Got Elk? Yes, and Barbed Wire, Too</strong></span><br /><span style="font-
 size: 10pt;">As another wildlife birthing season begins in Evergreen, the t
 emptation for human and beast to run wild through our plentiful open spaces
  is large. To wander along trails to capture the beauty on our phones, thro
 ugh binoculars and with cameras is irresistible. For our wild herds, they c
 ontinue to roam around their ranges and follow centuries-old migration path
 s. But a dangerous hazard lies waiting in many of these spaces for all, gho
 st barbed wire. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Most barbed wi
 re found in spaces and on private property throughout Evergreen is left ove
 r from cattle ranching. In the case of the Denver Mountain Parks (DMP) such
  as Dedisse Park, the wire is not needed except possibly in a few areas whe
 re land ownership demarcation is desired. The largest consequence of barbed
  wire is experienced by fawns who either get caught in the wire or end up a
 bandoned when the mother jumps over and leaves them behind. (See photos.) N
 inety percent of deer carcasses found near fences are fawns that were unabl
 e to cross, separated from their mothers left to hard fate. Elk calves may 
 not be able to scale the 51–54-inch height of standard 5-strand barbed wire
  fence until they are larger. In January 2022, Christie Greene, Wild Aware 
 founder, and president, saw calves struggling to get over barbed wire. In E
 lk Meadow the calves seen were not newborns but much larger at 6-8 months o
 ld that time of year. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Even tho
 ugh all DMP and Jeffco Open Space parks, trails and open spaces around Ever
 green have on-leash requirements for dogs, there are still canine injuries 
 from the ghost barbed wire fence particularly near hiking trails and privat
 e property. In July 2022, Wild Aware began a Barbed Wire Removal program. T
 he Barbed Wire Removal volunteer crew removed 200-250  linear feet of barbe
 d wire at this first event. Thousands of miles of disused barbed wire fenci
 ng are still out there, endangering wild life and other animals, especially
  deer fawn and elk calves.   </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I
 f you feel motivated to remove this ubiquitous hazard, you can help. Volunt
 eers are needed to continue removing ghost fence from Dedisse Park. Ryan Ph
 illian,  Denver Mountain Park Ranger, leads this effort. Those who will hav
 e participated at our June 17th event are asked to participate and bring fr
 iends to our remaining two events this summer on July 22 and August 19, 202
 3, meeting in the same Dedisse Park location at the picnic pavilion at 10am
  and returning to the pavilion by 1pm with optional lunch provided. The onl
 ine signup form will have the exact meeting location.</span></p><p><span st
 yle="font-size: 10pt;">DMP will have some gloves and barbed wire cutters, b
 ut people are encouraged to bring their own gloves and eye protection (and 
 specific barbed wire cutters if possible-regular wire cutters won’t work). 
 Be prepared for inclement weather, sun and bring water. Lunch is provided b
 ut you must (please) indicate you will stay for lunch on the signup form. <
