2008 Hunter Safety Course – The Lodge at Gander Mountain, Thornton, CO

The 2008 Hunter Education Course was organized and sponsored by your very own Metro Denver Pheasants Forever chapter.  Instructor Cory Christon donated his time and materials from the Colorado Division of Wildlife to help support and teach the course. We would like to personally thank Cory for his dedication to supporting Pheasants Forever and our youth initiative.  We also want to thank both CJ Kausel and Phil Kelly, our Youth Chair officers for organizing the event and a special thanks to Gander Mountain for providing The Lodge for the classroom.  Everyone that attended the course had a great time and we appreciate everyone’s attendance.  We hope to organize another Hunter Education Course in the near future so keep checking back for new class schedules. 

Testing in progress….

2008 Habitat Project/Campout Jamboree – Banner Lakes State Wildlife Area
Our inaugural Metro Denver Pheasants Forever Habitat project was held at Banner Lakes State Wildlife Area near Hudson Colorado on May 3^rd, 2008.  Our chapter worked in conjunction with the Colorado Division of Wildlife area manager, Chris Mettenbrink  and his team to prepare and plant a total of 250 trees and plum thickets at the site.  We had over 30 people attend the event and the kids did an excellent job of planting the trees and thickets. We were all very proud of the effort put forth by the younger members and they all had a great time at the overnight campout and cookout.   Later that evening we all had a great time sitting around the campfire, burning smores and telling tall tales. 

 We would like to thank a couple of individuals and organizations for donating some of the weed barrier and drip system components for the project.  The Southeast Weld County Conservation district assisted by donating weed barrier material and we would like to recognize Mr. David Rippe and Jan Fritch from the district for their support. 

 We also received a $100.00 donation and a roll of weed barrier from the adjacent land owner, Mr. Bob Warner.   It is through the assistance of individuals and organizations mentioned above that we can make an even greater contribution towards conserving and building pheasant habitat. 

 I also want to thank each and every PF member and non-PF member that helped out and made the project a success.  My sincerest gratitude to all that helped out.
