This from the Forest Service: "Pawnee National Grassland - Bird Tour Roads Date of Announcement: June 2, 2009 Estimated Funding: $ 2,500,000 for Capital Improvement and Maintenance County: Weld The Pawnee National Grassland (PNG) is known internationally for its outstanding bird watching opportunities which contribute to tourism in Colorado. There are several key sites on the PNG where much of this activity occurs. The Pawnee Bird Tour utilizes grassland and county roads and provides recreational visitors the opportunity to view a variety of bird species in their natural environment. The Bird Tour Roads (Forest Service Roads 69,96 and 104) have been degraded due to the loss of aggregate surfacing and erosion problems caused by poor road drainage. It is also in need of interpretive points of interest. Project funding will provide for backlogged road maintenance and designated and signed interpretive pull-outs. Past partners who have made the Bird Tour successful include the National Audubon Society and the Colorado Division of Wildlife."
