Charlie Horn---Jeffco Open Space Volunteer of the Year For
those who don’t know, in 1972 Jefferson County initiated a unique
program by which sales tax funds are used to acquire, maintain, and
preserve open space for the use and benefit of the public (Jeffco Open
Space). One aspect of this program is to foster awareness and appreciation
for the County’s natural and cultural resources through educational
and interpretive venues. These educational and interpretive functions
are provided not only by a cadre of full-time staff but also by a large
number of trained and actively engaged volunteers. Charlie, a long-time
member of WDTU, has been involved with a number of Chapter activities.
He is the former Director of WDTU’s Education Program, was previously
involved in the Fantasy Raffle, and just finished a stint as Director
of the Fly Tying Clinic event held last February. In addition to his
WDTU activities, Charlie has also been heavily involved with the Jeffco
Open Space program. He has served as a Program Naturalist at Jeffco’s
Lookout Mountain Nature Center and as a leader in the development of
a beginning fly fishing class for the general public (see related article
in this issue). For all his work (and, according to the citation, for
his friendly attitude and “perpetual smile”) this past year,
Charlie was given the Jeffco Open Space Volunteer of the Year Award.
Congrats, Charlie.

intermediate fly fishing and shotgun seminar in the Kremmling area
on June 27 has been opened to women statewide. This clinic is wonderful
for someone who has already completed Cast & Blast I or who already
considers themselves a beginner in shooting and fly fishing but wants
to improve to the intermediate level. The casting portion of the clinic
will focus on improving the casting skills and learning to fish the river.
Waders are recommended but not required. All flies, fly rods and reels
will be provided for the day but personal gear is welcome. The second
portion of the clinic will focus on improving shotgun shooting skills
by learning the different shooting sports and practicing trap shooting.
It will be a safe afternoon designed for improving your shotgun skills;
Shotguns will be provided but shooters are welcome to bring their own.

Come join us at the free event and learn about wildlife in Colorado! DOW Director Tom Remington will address the crowd at 11:00 AM and give away a gift basket filled with wildlife recreation-oriented equipment to one lucky registrant. Employees and volunteers from the DOW will be on hand to Take a Family Fishing. Come early to register for a chance to learn how to fish at the lake with trained anglers. Participants will learn about aquatic environments and how fish respond to different habitats, as well as have an opportunity to fish themselves. Attendees will depart with some tools to pursue fishing in Colorado on their own. Among the many outdoor activities during the Junior Ranger program, kids will learn how to identify animal sign and what kinds of bugs, birds, and invertebrates can be found close to home. All participants will receive information and educational material to continue their Colorado wildlife journey on their own. Finally,
families can get up close and personal with urban wildlife and other Colorado
critters at the DOW booth. Pelts, skulls and animal sign will be on display
and explained to all so that families can recognize the animals near their
home and learn how to share the landscape." Other
