This field trip is brought to you by Boulder County Audubon:

National Eagle and Wildlife Repository

Friday, April 29, 2016  9 a.m.-3

Free, Limited to 20, Reservations:  piombi...@gmail.com

Leader:  Carol McCasland

This facility is located on the Rocky Mountain Arsenal and administered by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Department.  It is dedicated to accounting for all confiscated or otherwise forfeited wildlife items.  It is here that parts and feathers of dead Bald and Golden Eagles, after a careful accounting process, can be redistributed to Native American tribes.  You will
learn about laws that protect wildlife and the challenges of enforcing wildlife regulations from illegal trade and possession. 

We will start first with a tour of this complex and afterwards move onto a new display about Black-footed Ferrets that have recently been reintroduced to the Arsenal.  After a brown bag lunch, participants will go on the Arsenal wildlife drive where Bison are almost certain.  Meet at the northeast corner of the East Boulder Recreation Center parking lot to
car pool at 9 a.m.
