Sportsperson's Roundtable

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) depends on feedback and advice from our state’s hunters and anglers to make the best decisions about the management of fish, wildlife, and habitat. In order to discuss issues and gather ideas, CPW convenes a statewide Sportsperson’s Roundtable and holds regional sportsperson meetings. The Sportsperson’s Roundtable fosters information sharing between the hunting, angling and trapping community and CPW on issues that pertain to wildlife recreation and management in Colorado. The Sportsperson’s Roundtable consists of members from around the state with interests in hunting, trapping and fishing.

Purpose

• To provide a forum for sharing information between Sportspeople and CPW on Colorado wildlife management; hunting, fishing, and trapping issues; as well as CPW programs and operations.
• To provide an opportunity for sportspeople to share diverse perspectives on statewide and regional issues.
• To help identify areas of emerging concern to sportspeople.
• To assist CPW in communicating information to stakeholders through Roundtable Members and regional meetings.
