The City of Boulder’s Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) Department today closed an area near Mount Sanitas to protect prairie falcons as they attempt to nest. OSMP will reopen the area if monitoring indicates that nesting has not occurred. No designated trails will be closed as part of this protective measure.
Trespass violations can result in a summons with penalties up to 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.
