Wildlife Assessments
 

Mallards in healthy habitat

Representative Client

WWE  worked with the owners of a 500-acre ranch near Wolcott, Colorado to improve wildlife habitat. The clients were especially interested in improving their land for deer, elk, and waterfowl. In recent decades, the ranch had been degraded from the spread of weeds and  had its wetlands and riparian areas trampled by cattle. 

WWE developed a plan for restoring the wetlands and riparian areas, re-vegetating the area surrounding a pond, and creating a foraging area for deer and elk. The plan included fencing the perimeter of the valuable wildlife habitats, seeding with plant species preferred by deer and elk, and planting a diverse selection of shrubs and trees valuable to many wildlife species. 

To obtain funding for these projects WWE consulted with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Colorado Division of Wildlife.  To facilitate the process, WWE identified government programs that may help fund the habitat improvement proposed for the property. Meetings were then arranged between the landowner and the funding agency.
