Name:
CPW's Chronic Wasting Disease Public Meeting
Date:
July 2, 2018
Time:
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM MDT
Event Description:
Colorado Parks and Wildlife estimates half of the deer herds and about one third of elk herds are affected by chronic wasting disease. The proportion of animals in these herds infected varies across the state, but current science-based estimates indicate higher infection rates in several herds in the Northwest part of Colorado.
The Chronic Wasting Disease Advisory Group - comprised of CPW managers, CPW commissioners and a variety of stakeholders - will present current findings and answer qeustions about the potential effects the disease may have on local ungulate populations. Although the disease affects deer, elk and moose, CPW has focused on deer due to the higher prevalence in the species.
