Mountain Lion Activity
There have been several reported mountain lion encounters in our community in recent weeks . Please follow the tips from
Colorado
Parks and Wildlife ( CPW ) for living in mountain lion territory:
Keep a close eye on your pets when outside and bring them in at night .
Use a leash to keep your pet close and under control when recreating or walking outside .
Make noise when coming and going during dusk and dawn when mountain lions are most active .
Install dark - sky compatible motion - sensor lighting ( keep your close neighbors in mind! ) .
Landscape to eliminate hiding spots .
Avoid planting vegetation that attracts deer and avoid feeding wildlife or using bird feeders - feeding one species will bring the entire food chain .
Talk to children about mountain lions and teach them what to do if they meet one .
If you have questions or concerns about mountain lions , or would like to report a mountain lion sighting or encounter , please contact the local CPW Office at 970 - 725 - 6200 . It is important that CPW is notified of a mountain lion sighting or conflict immediately . The sooner a wildlife officer knows of a sighting , the sooner they can start monitoring the lion and their behavior .
