Re: [cobirds] Fwd: [ACC] Hunting/Fishing license required to enter SWAs starting July 1

To reiterate: In an announcement made late Friday, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife 

Commission said that it decided on April 30 that "A valid hunting or fishing license will be requiredfor everyone 18 or older attempting to access any State Wildlife Area or StateTrust Land leased by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, beginning July 1."

You must purchase a Habitat stamp prior to buying a fishing license. 

So if you want to birdwatch in a state wildlife area you will need to buy a fishing license AND a habitat stamp.

Seeking clarification:

There's a Habitat Stamp, and then separately there's fishing/hunting licenses. (The Habitat Stamp is required for purchase before buying hunting/fishing permits.) My understanding has been that to simply access the SWAs (except for Prewitt, Jumbo, etc.), you didn't need either a Habitat Stamp or a fishing/hunting license. In other words, birdwatching at most SWAs does not require any annual permit. A Habitat Stamp would be required however to enter Prewitt, Jumbo etc for the purpose of birding or car-camping. Is this correct?

I've tried researching the CPW web site and various brochures, and I can never find specific information on how one accesses SWAs specifically for non-hunting/fishing purposes.

For these four (Jumbo Reservoir, Lake DeWeese, Prewitt Reservoir or San Luis Lakes) yes. As of now nothing is needed to access other SWAs.
