Thank you for participating in the Town of South Fork’s community survey regarding the Parks & Wildlife Bear Conflict Grant application.

The Town of South Fork is seeking to apply for a grant through the Colorado Parks & Wildlife for bear conflict prevention program to receive funding for 2027. This includes a multi-organization distribution partnership for bear-proof trash cans and other preventative measures for businesses and residents. The town has the ability to apply for this grant over multiple years which will allow multiple phases of implementation for different areas. Please complete this 10 question survey and provide your feedback regarding this matter.
