To date we’ve captured and relocated 125 prairie dogs from the NE and SE corners of Indian School and Tramway.  The prairie dogs are being relocated to make way for landscaping.  There are a few left that we are trying to trap before the end of the season.  In fact Margaret D caught another one this week.  Apparently there will be another town meeting to review the landscape plan.  Read on to learn details for the meeting.

Agenda: Findings & Plan for Landscaping

This is a great opportunity to hear from Sites SW, the landscape consultants contracted by the City of Albuquerque, as they present their findings for a plan to landscape portions of the Tramway and Indian School Rd. intersection. Before a plan can be adopted the preliminary work of humanly removing the prairie dogs is being done by Prairie Dog Pals of New Mexico. The governmental entities being asked to review this plan for approval are the City of Albuquerque and the State of NM Highway Department.

SAN ANGELO, TX – The prairie dogs at Mary E. Lee Park in San Angelo are being relocated to a new home.

What started as a small family five years ago quickly became a colony of about 500 prairie dogs.

Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members came to a decision to relocate the animals. Lynda Watson with the prairie dog management service was called to capture and safely relocate them to a more natural permanent residence.
