Open Space Advisory Board <br />Information Item 6: Staff Updates Continued <br />June 11, 2025 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />6. Staff will be hosting a National Trails Day event on June 14, 2025, at Harper Lake from 9 <br />am to 12 pm. Volunteers will be assisting staff with resetting sections of the 4-foot <br />pedestrian trails bed, footprint, and corridor. The scope of work for this event will also <br />consist of resurfacing the trail to return proper slope, cross slope, and grade. <br />7. Staff is in the process of filling Hecla Lake with water from the Davidson High Line Lateral <br />Ditch. The conveyance of water to the Harney Lastoka property agricultural tenant will <br />begin once water levels reach an appropriate elevation point to pass through the outflow <br />gate at the south side of the lake. <br />Resource Protection: <br />1. Rangers attended Ranger Excellence School (RES) in Estes Park. Ranger Meili obtained his <br />Emergency Medical Responder Certification, and Sr. Ranger White-Patarino obtained his <br />Mental Health First Aid Certification. Both rangers assisted RES staff with running the <br />scenarios training event on the final day of RES. <br />2. Rangers have observed an increase in wildlife calls, likely due to higher wildlife activity <br />with warmer weather and the arrival of spring baby season. <br />3. Golf Course staff have asked rangers to perform extra patrols to prevent kids from fishing <br />ponds on the course. Golf staff expressed the chief safety concern of preventing golf ball <br />strikes, which can cause severe injury. <br />Education Events Upcoming: <br />1.
