 Wetlands and
riparian habitat associated with the North Platte and Colorado River drainages serve as
important waterbird breeding areas and also support many game and non-game wildlife
species. Partners for Fish and Wildlife projects with landowners in North Park have been
very effective in creating small wetland areas.
Through the Intermountain
West Joint Venture, Partners for Fish and Wildlife is working with the Colorado Division
of Wildlife, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Ducks Unlimited, Owl Mountain Partnership,
Jackson County Lions Club, and others to develop wetlands and expand educational and
interpretive programs throughout northern Colorado.

The wetland and riparian habitat
associated with the floodplains of the major rivers in northwestern Colorado is vitally
important for wildlife of many types. Partners for Fish and Wildlife, the Colorado
Division of Wildlife, Ducks Unlimited, and Pheasants Forever join with landowners in
efforts to restore these areas. Partners projects to address declining and endangered
species are also in the planning stages.

Partners for Fish and
Wildlife in the southwest region of Colorado is addressing wetland and riparian habitat
issues in the Uncompahgre and Las Animas River valleys. Typical of southwestern U.S.
rivers, the riparian and wetland habitat supported by these rivers is critical to many
species of wildlife.
