⚠️ Active Wildlife Warnings

🦔

Porcupine Encounter

Porcupines are year-round in CO forests. Dogs frequently get quilled — keep on-leash in forested areas.

🐻

Bear Activity

Dogs can trigger bear encounters — barking attracts and fleeing leads bears back to you. Keep dog on short leash.

🫎

Moose Active

Moose are highly dangerous around dogs. Dogs trigger defensive charges. Avoid moose habitat in North Park and Estes.

🦅

Bird Nesting Closures

Raptor and ground-nesting bird closures active in some areas. Dogs can disturb nests — watch for posted closure signs.
