CNAP Council News
Resources. They are an underlying theme of every Colorado Natural Areas program Council meeting. One might expect this, given that the Mission Statement of Colorado State Parks says “the stewardship of Colorado’s natural resources” is a priority. But it is not just natural resources that CNAP is dedicated to protecting. The Colorado Natural Areas program must concern itself with other important yet limited resources: time, people and money. Rob Billerbeck and Brian Kurzel continually look at how they use these important resources. It is the job of the Council members to assist CNAP staff in considering options, focusing priorities and making recommendations for how CNAP can best galvanize all of its resources.
In 2007, we saw a turnover of Council members who are pledged with protecting resources, both natural and otherwise. The following Council members finished out their terms in 2007: John A. Masson, Tom Burke, Dennis Brinker, and Tyler Nifong. We are thankful to each outgoing Council member for the work they did on behalf of the Natural Areas Program. In 2008, we welcome the following Council members to our team: Jill Ozarski of the Colorado Coalition of Land Trusts, Michele (“Mike”) Bloom of the State Board of Land Commissioners, Renee Rondeau of the Colorado Natural Heritage Program, and Dennis Beuchler of the Division of Wildlife Commission. Dr. Tom Ready continues on the Council, and Kathy Yates and Lee Shropshire have been elected Chair and Vice-Chair. We look forward to supporting the Colorado Natural Areas program in 2008.
