Wildfires can spread quickly — by the time one is nearby, you may not have much time. Have an evacuation plan, and prepare an emergency supply kit ahead of time. Listen to local officials for emergency information and any evacuation orders.

Every night when Animal Protection Officer Perkins gets home, she sets her vest on the counter and Indy launches right into it like he is clocking in for the night shift. He might be small, but he takes his “role” very seriously. Officer Indy reporting for duty!

It’s time for some bear talk with Colorado Parks and Wildlife - and we’re all ears! Bears are in full-on bulking season, eating up to 20,000 calories a day to prepare for winter hibernation. You can help make sure they’re dining on nature’s finest, not neighborhood leftovers.
