Description
Wetlands and riparian areas in the Arkansas Headwaters subbasin support biologically significant resources, including plants animals and natural communities. Decisions about wetland management should be based on a solid understanding of their extent and distribution. The goal of this project was to create an up-to-date digital map of wetlands in the Arkansas Headwaters subbasin to aid regulatory, conservation and management decisions.

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has determined that road construction and maintenance should avoid fen wetlands whenever practicable. Efficient implementation of this policy, however, has been hindered by a lack of comprehensive information on fens surrounding the Colorado highway network. To aid transportation planning, CDOT identified a need to better understand the distribution and extent of fens near Colorado highways. To this...

In Colorado, no single state agency is responsible for wetlands, but many agencies and organizations have their own plans that either specifically address wetland protection, regulation, and management or involve wetland and aquatic resources indirectly. The intent of this WPP is to tie together the priorities, goals, objectives, and actions embedded in existing state plans, and identified through the development of this WPP, into one comprehensive...

The Bridger-Teton National Forest contains a rich resource of fen wetlands. This report and associated dataset provides the BTNF with a critical tool for conservation planning at both a local and Forest-wide scale. These data will be useful for the ongoing BTNF biological assessment required by the 2012 Forest Planning Rule, but can also be used for individual management actions, such as planning for timber sales, grazing allotments, and trail maintenance....

Description
Wetlands are an essential component of Colorado's landscape that greatly benefit the people of Colorado by performing a number of vital functions, including water quality improvement, flood attenuation, and wildlife habitat. As resource managers, planners, and restoration practitioners attempt to mitigate for impacts to aquatic ecosystems, there is a growing need for conservation planning tools that help bridge the gap between ecological data collection...

The Southern Rockies Landscape Conservation Cooperative (SRLCC) covers over 36 million acres in Colorado and spans a wide elevation gradient from high Rocky Mountain peaks to dry plateaus of the Colorado's west slope. Wetlands are similarly variable within this region and are particularly important for wildlife habitat, as they are often more productive than the surrounding uplands. In addition, wetlands are an integral component of regional hydrologic...
