An environmental activist who works to preserve the Roan Plateau has been named by the Colorado Wildlife Federation as conservationist of the year, marking the ever-closer relationship between the “hook and bullet” crowd and the green community.
Clare Bastable of the Colorado Mountain Club was scheduled to receive the award in Denver on Saturday night at the wildlife conservation group’s annual dinner, which also was to honor Denver Post outdoors writer Charlie Meyers.
“We may come at it from different perspectives, but we all want the same thing in the end – balance,” Bastable said of the liaisons she has formed with sportsmen’s groups in protecting the Roan Plateau, which is being eyed for natural-gas exploration.
