In advising the Ethics Committee of an actual or possible conflict, you must provide sufficient detail for it to be fully understood." If no actual or potential conflict exists, a brief statement to that effect will suffice. EMPLOYEES SEEKING PUBLIC OFFICE Adopted the following policy for employees running for public office, who are employed by the SBA institutions and agencies: 3- Employees of the institutions governed by the State Board of Agriculture should seek approval of the Board before running for public office."

A tribute to David Wasson as he “retires” from leading the Mountain Hiking School, we welcome a new Trip Leader, a request for Nominating Committee help, a request for new Council Members, Basic Mountaineer Course students praise their BMC experiences, a review of information on our group web site, Trip Reports, and a few Parting Shots. Thanks go out to Ward, Bill, Christina Scott Farquhar and Jason for their input to the newsletter. One issue I do want to touch on here is the weekly e-mail. Data the system records indicates less than 55% of the members open it. The e-mail lists important information and all trips sponsored by the Fort Collins Group. I would encourage all members to monitor the weekly e-mail for news flashes and for new trips. Sign up as soon as possible on trips that look interesting since most weekend trips tend to fill up fast (as a side note, often trips scheudled during the week go unfilled). The only way to get involved is to stay informed! Next, as I always do, I would like to welcome the 10 new members (actually memberships, my apologies to the family members not mentioned) that have joined the Fort Collins Group since April (see the next page for a listing).

III Executive Summary Over the past decade, visitation at Larimer County’s Department of Natural Resources (LCDNR) open space and reservoir park properties has steadily increased with instances of visitor capacity being reached on sites especially near urban areas. The Department prioritized the need to better understand visitors and launched a visitor study in the fall of 2020 at the Devil’s Backbone Open Space (DBOS) near Loveland. Primary objectives of the study were to gather and collect data from visitors on a wide range of topics to help guide and inform the department’s management considerations. Devil’s Backbone Open Space is located on the western edge of the City of Loveland and offers 17.25 miles of natural surface trails that connect to both Horsetooth Mountain Open Space and the City of Fort Collins Coyote Ridge Natural Area.
