This dataset contains field mapped perimeters of all active prairie dog colonies. Data was collected using GPS and clipped to the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) and Boulder County Parks and Open Space (BCPOS) properties. It has been collected yearly each fall since 1996, by OSMP wildlife staff.<\/SPAN><\/P>

The data set also provides prairie dog colony management designations (Prairie Dog Conservation Area, Grassland Preserve, Multiple Objective Area, Transition Area, Removal Area (see <\/SPAN>OSMP Grassland Ecosystem Management Plan <\/SPAN><\/A>for specifics on the designation process)) <\/SPAN><\/P>

Prairie dog colony management designations:<\/SPAN><\/P>

Grassland Preserve<\/SPAN>: Conservation of prairie dogs and their associated species in large and ecologically diverse grassland habitat blocks.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Multiple Objective Areas<\/SPAN>: Conservation of prairie dogs and their associated species is one of multiple management objectives.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Prairie Dog Conservation Areas<\/SPAN>: Conservation of the prairie dog is the primary management objective; associated species managed opportunistically<\/SPAN><\/P>

Transition Areas<\/SPAN>: Conservation of targets other than the prairie dog and associated community takes precedence-removal generally when relocation sites are available<\/SPAN><\/P>

Removal Areas<\/SPAN>: Conservation of targets other than the prairie dog and associates incompatible with prairie dogs-management options include immediate removal. <\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "This spatial view brings togerther the PrairieDogColoniesManagement table with the Prairie Dog Colonies Max Extent Feature class so that users can view management categories for each colony.
