A VOICE FOR WILDLIFE
Wildlife and its’ habitat cannot speak or take action to protect itself, so we must and we will.
IF WE CANNOT COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY IN THE NAME OF CONSERVATION, THEN WE ALL FALL SHORT OF OUR DUTY TO PRESERVE WHAT’S TRULY EPIC.

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT
WRITE YOUR EAGLE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AND URGE THEM TO SUPPORT THE VAIL BIGHORNS.
The Eagle County Commissioners and the new Vail Town Council need to hear that supporting the preservation of the Vail Bighorns has wide scale public support. Each Council must vote to approve their respective contributions to this crucial conservation effort. Contact your Eagle County Commissioners and urge them to support the full $5 million the Eagle County Open Space Advisory Committee recommended to support preservation of the Vail Bighorn Sheep. Then contact Vail Town Council and urge them to vote to approve whatever it takes to purchase the Booth Heights parcel to forever preserve this iconic herd.
