Bridge inundation at Chatfield State Park, Littleton, Colorado
This bridge, and thousands of surrounding trees, will be inundated if the Final Environmental Impact Statement (2013) isn't contested and the Chatfield Reservoir is allowed to rise an additional 3.6 metres (12 feet). Chatfield is not only a great recreational area but also provides good habitat and wetlands for a wide variety of creatures that have been crowded out of the rest of the Denver area. I hope my little video recordings, here on YouTube, will contribute to the preservation of these precious lands and species...

Chatfield Carp Rescue 2014
In the summer of 2014 a small band of kids and adults teamed up at Chatfield Reservoir in Littleton CO to rescue a population of common and mirror carp that had been trapped in a backwater slough and cut off from the main reservoir. This backwater was drying up rapidly and had dropped from waste deep to less than knee deep in just over a week and park management agreed to let us go in and rescue the fish in order to save the fish and avoid a possible public health hazard.
The experience turned out to be allot of fun as everybody dove in and got dirty for a good cause.
Thanks to all the participants for helping save these carp!!! Additional thanks to Chris Galvin and Cassie Stenstrom for many of the photos.
NOTE: These are NOT the Bighead Asian or Silver Asian carp that have gotten so much negative publicity in the Mississippi river basin. These are common and mirror carp which were intentionally introduced in the United States a long long time ago.
Additionally this is a completely artificial reservior. The overwhelming majority of the fish (if not ALL) are introduced species - just like the carp.
And finally we sought, and recieved permission from park management to do this rescue. Park Rangers were dispatched to keep an eye on us and were on-site and watching for the majority of the to me.

Places to see in ( Denver - USA )
Places to see in ( Denver - USA )
Denver, the capital of Colorado, is an American metropolis dating to the Old West era. Larimer Square, the city’s oldest block, features landmark 19th-century buildings. Museums include the Denver Art Museum, an ultramodern complex known for its collection of indigenous works, and the mansion of famed Titanic survivor Molly Brown. Denver is also a jumping-off point for ski resorts in the nearby Rocky Mountains.
Denver is a vibrant city with plenty of attractions for visitors, plus a diverse collection of neighborhoods that can be attractions in themselves. Many of Denver's older areas are the perfect density for exploration; you'll find an interesting mix of apartments and homes with flowery front gardens, wide flagstone sidewalks, bright green lawns and big, shady trees. Capitol Hill, Highlands, Baker, Berkeley, Uptown, Sloan's Lake, Cheesman, Washington, City and Congress Parks are just some of the neighborhoods bustling with people and places to see.
Denver has many beautiful parks that are full of colorful gardens, meandering paths, crystal clear lakes, abundant wildlife and recreation opportunities. The city has a rich pioneer history, and there are plenty of museums where you can learn all about it. It's also a very environmentally conscious city, with one of the nation’s first municipal “Green Fleets”, public transit vehicles using hybrid and alternative fuel and a city tree-planting initiative. Hop on a green bus, grab a bike or just walk around to discover Denver.
Thanks to a re-urbanization of the city's central core, Denver now has name-worthy neighborhoods with flavors that are all their own – River North (RiNo) for hipster bars and eye-catching street art, Lower Highlands (LoHi) and South Broadway for great eateries and live music, Cherry Creek for glam, Lower Downtown (LoDo) for upscale restaurants and cocktail lounges as well as the Golden Triangle and Santa Fe for arts, theater and museums. In all, there's a neighborhood and a vibe for just about anybody.
