Black-Footed Ferrets to Fort Carson



Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Fort Carson, the National Wildlife Federation and the US Fish and Wildlife Service are some of the partners considering the reintroduction of endangered black-footed ferrets to available prairie dog habitat, right here in our community’s backyard! Fort Carson has thousands of acres of suitable prairie habitat for ferret survival and is very interested in restoring the black-footed ferret on their land.

Want to learn more? Attend a free Open House at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’s Lodge at Moose Lake on Wednesday, Dec. 17, from 6-8 p.m.

You’ll get to meet a black-footed ferret, get lots of important information and have an opportunity to discuss this exciting conservation initiative with many of the partners.

Free refreshments will be served.
