Rocky Mountain National Park staff are beginning a new planning effort to address the decline of wetlands and the growing impact of moose populations on these sensitive ecosystems. The National Park Service (NPS) invites you to participate in shaping effective management strategies for wetlands and moose populations in Rocky Mountain National Park.
The park is hosting a virtual information session on Monday, December 8, from 6 to 7:15 p.m. MT. The intent of the webinar is to provide opportunities for the public to learn more about the importance of wetlands and ask questions of NPS staff and get information on how to provide formal written comments through the Planning, Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) website. The virtual meeting will begin with a presentation, followed by a question-and-answer session.
To participate in the virtual meeting, please register at the following link. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the virtual meeting.
Monday, December 8, 2025 6 p.m. MT
