Glenwood Springs resident Carrie Hauser has been appointed by the governor to serve on the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission.

 

 

The commission sets rules and policies for state parks and wildlife programs. It is comprised of ranchers, sportsmen and sportswomen and recreationalists.

 

Hauser said this design is intentional, “to try to find an appropriate balance for these incredible places in Colorado and to be sure that they’re still here for generations to come.”

Hauser will join the 11-member board as one of three representatives from the recreation community. She is the only commissioner from the Roaring Fork Valley.

Hauser is also the president and CEO of Colorado Mountain College. She said the work is a natural fit.  

“We have so many outdoor programs, we have a sustainability program, all of our natural resources programs,” Hauser said.

The commission meets six times a year.

 

Aspen native Elizabeth Stewart-Severy is excited to be making a return to both the Red Brick, where she attended kindergarten, and the field of journalism. She has spent her entire life playing in the mountains and rivers around Aspen, and is thrilled to be reporting about all things environmental in this special place. She attended the University of Colorado with a Boettcher Scholarship, and graduated as the top student from the School of Journalism in 2006. Her lifelong love of hockey lead to a stint working for the Colorado Avalanche, and she still plays in local leagues and coaches the Aspen Junior Hockey U-19 girls.
