Animals

The Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland provides habitat for a variety of animal species both large and small. Plant and wildlife species listing status is a necessary consideration for all project work being planned on the Forests and Grassland. The Forests and Grassland also works closely with Colorado Parks and Wildlife related to wildlife management.
