PF, in partnership with the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Natl. Wildlife Refuge and Odyssey Charter School, brought students to the Refuge to learn about pollinators like bees and butterflies. After some classroom activity, the youngsters "dug in" to actually plant a large area with seed that will produce a diverse planting. The project will support pollinators with critically important habitat at the Refuge.

Dean Titterington, PF Habitat Chair, attended the Pheasant Fest national conference in South Dakota. The event was attended by hundreds of PF members, vendors, habitat experts and other supporters. Seminars provided expertise on everything from best farming practices, seed mixes and dog training to how to run better fundraising banquets. It provided an opportunity for our chapter to get some donated hunts to auction at our next banquet. Dean was entered into a free veteran's raffle and won the big prize, a HOWA 6.5 Creedmore Legacy precision rifle in an American flag finish! Even the pheasants were seen to celebrate the conference with a beverage.

In partnership with Colorado Parks & Wildlife and Americas for Conservation and the Arts. Our chapter brought a group of Hispanic children to Barr Lake State Park to learn about habitat conservation. Children were given some in-the field instruction by PF Biologist Jerry Miller on what makes good wildlife habitat. Then the children proceeded to actually plant trees and shrubs at predetermined sites. Many children learned how to handle a shovel for the first time. We wrapped up with a fun cultural activity, a poetry recital in the amphitheater.

As part of Mentor Days at Barr Lake State Park, P brought our trailers and equipment to the park to set up a pellet gun target activity. Participants receive instruction in fundamentals of gun safety using a classroom approach before learning to shoot the pellet guns. Most shooters were able to shoot a bullseye or two and were thrilled to be able to keep their targets.
