Bohn Park Phase II Updates

Work continues in Bohn Park Phase II. The contractor has begun work for the intake, wells and pump house for the Project. You may notice that a portion of the trail is closed along the river, while there is big equipment in the river and along the trail. Residents are asked to follow the detour into the parking lot. In addition, the fencing for the baseball/softball fields has been placed and the pavilion is 90% complete. Soon more landscaping will begin along with work on the walking trails.

Bears Are Back

Please Secure Your Trash

Springtime reminds us that the warmer weather has bears waking up from their winter hibernation. Along with April showers and May flowers the active black bear season also returns to our area. Take time now to ensure your trash and compost are secured!

The Colorado Department of Wildlife notes that "Black bears are curious, intelligent, and very resourceful; they will explore all possible food sources. If they find food near homes, campgrounds, vehicles, or communities, they’ll come back for more." Typically, bears that find food sources in town are likely to stay close to town, which increases the chance of human encounters and the bears losing their natural fear of people.

Following these tips to bear proof your home or business can help protect you, your family and hopefully save a bear.

Put your trash out the morning of your trash pick up.
Do NOT put it out the night before.
If possible, store your trash and compost in a house, garage, shed or other enclosed area until the morning of collection.
Remove bird feeders. Feed birds in winter months only.
Both Western Disposal and One Way Trash Service offer bear proof trash bins for residential and commercial services. Contact your trash provider and ask about their bear proof system containers.

Spring Run Off

The health and safety of our residents remains the top concern of the Town. During the springtime as the snow in the mountains begin to melt, residents often ask about river levels and the St Vrain Creek with spring run off. You can view the daily flow from the State of Colorado, Division of Water Resources.
