Lewis Valley Ecological Study

´Ecological Characterization Study performed by Eric Berg, owner of Wildlands Consulting and Berthoud Resident.

Mr. Berg is a Certified Wildlife Biologist, and Certified Senior Professional Wetland Scientist.
The following are key excerpts from his Study.

“There are no Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) high priority habitat areas mapped for the site.”

“There would be no loss of wetland or riparian vegetation.”

“Project construction would not result in habitat changes or habitat losses to important riparian/ wetland habitat areas along Dry Creek or the Little Thompson River.”

“The wildlife corridors along Dry Creek and the Little Thompson River would remain intact after project construction as part of the large open space/ greenway areas.   The project was designed to protect the wildlife corridors.”

“The project is not expected to impact any Federal listed or special status wildlife or plant species”
