Colorado Parks and Wildlife shares in the success reported March 31, 2016 by the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA), on the status of the lesser prairie chicken. This report is the second since the implementation of the Lesser Prairie-Chicken Range-wide Conservation Plan in 2014.

“The lesser prairie-chicken range-wide plan, because it’s incentive based and voluntary, is the new model for conservation and the best alternative to listing species,” said Bob Broscheid, CPW director and Colorado’s representative to the Lesser Prairie-Chicken Council.

Snooze Buttons.  One of my favorite things in life.  I always set the alarm on my phone for 30 minutes before I actually want to get up.  I gave up on alarm clocks long ago.  I’m technologically challenged. When my phone goes off, I set it for 30 minutes later, then go back to sleep for another half hour.

That sounds much longer than going back to sleep for  “another 30 minutes”.  I am a master at cheating the clock.
