As many as 60 prairie dogs may soon be bound for a new home if Boulder County commissioners on Tuesday approve amending the county’s 14½-year-old vegetation management agreement with Colorado Horse Rescue.
That old pact set the county’s expectations for Colorado Horse Rescue — a nonprofit that rescues, rehabilitates and finds new homes for abandoned, abused or unwanted horses — to restore vegetation on about 35 acres of its 49-acre property. Modifying the 1999 agreement would permit Colorado Horse Rescue to proceed with plans to remove up to 60 prairie dogs and relocate them to county-owned open space, at Rabbit Mountain northeast of Lyons or grasslands northwest of Colorado 128 and McCaslin Boulevard.
