 vergreen, Got Elk? Yes, and Barbed Wire, Too</strong></span><br /><span sty
 le="font-size: 10pt;">As another wildlife birthing season begins in Evergre
 en, the temptation for human and beast to run wild through our plentiful op
 en spaces is large. To wander along trails to capture the beauty on our pho
 nes, through binoculars and with cameras is irresistible. For our wild herd
 s, they continue to roam around their ranges and follow centuries-old migra
 tion paths. But a dangerous hazard lies waiting in many of these spaces for
  all, ghost barbed wire. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Most 
 barbed wire found in spaces and on private property throughout Evergreen is
  left over 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 where 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 abandoned when the mother jumps over and leaves them behind. (See p
 hotos.) Ninety percent of deer carcasses found near fences are fawns that w
 ere unable to cross, separated from their mothers left to hard fate. Elk ca
 lves may not be able to scale the 51–54-inch height of standard 5-strand ba
 rbed wire fence until they are larger. In January 2022, Christie Greene, Wi
 ld Aware founder, and president, saw calves struggling to get over barbed w
 ire. In Elk Meadow the calves seen were not newborns but much larger at 6-8
  months old that time of year. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"
 >Even though all DMP and Jeffco Open Space parks, trails and open spaces ar
 ound Evergreen have on-leash requirements for dogs, there are still canine 
 injuries from the ghost barbed wire fence particularly near hiking trails a
 nd private property. In July 2022, Wild Aware began a Barbed Wire Removal p
 rogram. The Barbed Wire Removal volunteer crew removed 200-250  linear feet
  of barbed wire at this first event. Thousands of miles of disused barbed w
 ire fencing are still out there, endangering wild life and other animals, e
 specially deer fawn and elk calves.   </span></p><p><span style="font-size:
  10pt;">If you feel motivated to remove this ubiquitous hazard, you can hel
 p. Volunteers are needed to continue removing ghost fence from Dedisse Park
 . Ryan Phillian,  Denver Mountain Park Ranger, leads this effort. Those who
  will have participated at our June 17th event are asked to participate and
  bring friends to our remaining two events this summer on July 22 and Augus
 t 19, 2023, meeting in the same Dedisse Park location at the picnic pavilio
 n at 10am and returning to the pavilion by 1pm with optional lunch provided
 . The online signup form will have the exact meeting location.</span></p><p
 ><span style="font-size: 10pt;">DMP will have some gloves and barbed wire c
 utters, but people are encouraged to bring their own gloves and eye protect
 ion (and specific barbed wire cutters if possible-regular wire cutters won’
 t work). Be prepared for inclement weather, sun and bring water. Lunch is p
 rovided but you must (please) indicate you will stay for lunch on the signu
 p form. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Click below to sign up
