Looks like friends of Wolf Creek and Alberta Park may have another tool to bring to bear in the long standing struggle to protect Alberta Park watershed from destructive development and hopefully convince Mr. Red McCombs and his LMJV to abandon their 10,500' elevation village in the sky dreams and look at more down to Earth and realistic offers of a land parcel further down the mountain and closer to existing infrastructure where development would be more appropriate.
The bottom-line regarding Alberta Park Watershed is that it's a precious national resource just as is, a highly productive, complex living organism above and below ground. It's integral to the Rio Grande River's good health. Not to mention that it's also a key wildlife corridor. That habitat is worth saving. As is.
