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 staff with tools to make management decision based on colony management designations (see <\/SPAN>OSMP Grassland Ecosystem Management <\/SPAN><\/A>Plan for specifics on the designation process).<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>
