A crew from Ducks Unlimited will survey the Sambrito Wetlands area of Navajo State Park during the next couple of weeks.
The crew is authorized to ride OHVs through the area to do the work. Colorado Parks and Wildlife said there’s no reason to report the activity.
The Sambrito area, which is at the west end of the park, is being surveyed to determine what improvements can be made to enhance the wetlands. Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Bureau of Reclamation and Ducks Unlimited are working cooperatively on the project that will improve the area’s wildlife habitat. Wetlands provide habitat for every species of wildlife and help to improve water quality.
Structures to help control and move water will be installed. Construction is scheduled to start sometime next summer.
