*BCAS Meeting! Colorado's Newest State Park: Fishers Peak State Park Biodiversity Study*
*Join Boulder County Audubon Society and Pam Smith on Tuesday, September 28,* to learn about Fishers Peak State Park (FPSP) - Colorado’s newest and 2nd largest state park with 19,200 acres. Located 5.5 miles southeast of the town of Trinidad, FPSP officially became part of the State Park System in October of 2020. Fishers Peak rises along the park’s eastern boundary and, at 9,633 feet (2,936 m), it is the highest point east of its longitude in the United States and an iconic landmark for the region. The FPSP includes many rugged undeveloped areas with steep cliffs, numerous streams, ponds, meadows, woodlands, and both mature and mixed-aged forests. This property was formerly known as the Crazy French Ranch and has been private for over 100 years. Pam Smith is a field botanist and as a project investigator for CNHP, she conducts botanical surveys and monitoring for rare plants, plant communities, wetlands, and wetland condition assessments.
