Gov. Bill Ritter has announced the nomination of Dorothea Farris of Carbondale and Robert Streeter of Fort Collins to the Colorado Wildlife Commission.
Farris, a Democrat, is a Pitkin County commissioner, president of Colorado Counties Inc., and a member of the Public Education Advisory Council that oversees state wildlife education funds. She previously had been nominated for the wildlife commission under the Roy Romer administration, but never confirmed.
Streeter, a Republican, is a former assistant director of refugees for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Mountain-Prairie Region and a current member of the Larimer County Open Lands Board.
Both must be confirmed by the Colorado Senate. If approved, they join a nine-member voting panel responsible for Colorado wildlife policy.
Green River map.
Wyoming Game and Fish Department has produced an access map covering 146 miles of the Green River from Fontenelle Reservoir upstream to Green River Lakes.
Color coded, the map will assist waders and floaters in deciphering the land use options along the river. The map is available free at the Pinedale and Jackson offices of the department.
