On Aug. 25, the supervisor of the Dixie National Forest approved a permit for the Division of Wildlife Resources to resume using Rotenone on an 8.5-mile strip of the East Fork of Boulder Creek above the bucolic town in Garfield County.
The project has been stalled since 2009 after residents’ objections
The project is intended to kill non-native fish species, such as brook trout. It is supported by conservation groups that want to see the Colorado cutthroat thrive instead of other species introduced in the 1940s by the DWR.
Anybody have any insight on this and why is the DWR wasting money to killing game fish ???
