GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — Ongoing drought, wildfires, low river flows and voluntary fishing closures will headline the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Northwest Region Sportspersons’ Roundtable Meeting on July 28.

The meeting will run from 6 to 8 p.m. at the CPW Northwest Region Office, 711 Independent Ave. Attendees can participate in person or virtually via Zoom. Virtual attendees must register online before the event.
