Eldorado Canyon State Park
Though
their primary mission is to provide for recreational activities within
the park, Eldorado Canyon park managers also realize the importance of
managing natural resources within the context of ecosystem management.
Wildfire mitigation, noxious weed control and improved forest health efforts
are representative of contributions by the park to the “stewardship across
boundaries” theme so vital to the success of the Winiger Ridge effort.
The park recently implemented a fuel break project in conjunction with
similar activities at the Gross Reservoir site and will conduct a prescribed
burn at the Crescent Meadows area in March.
Kristi McDonald-Quintana is the new park manager at Eldorado Canyon State Park. McDonald-Quintana wants to continue implementing resource management activities at the park, including the prescribed burn and continuing noxious weed control. She can be reached at the park office, 303-494-3943.
