Don't ignore experts at CSU or contacts through the CSU/county extension service. City officials might also be helpful in providing information. Look also at City Council (and school board initiatives).

If you are working on topics related to forestry, fish and wildlife services, or state/national park management, the Colorado Division of Wildlife has a library you can use at their office on Prospect. We also have a U.S. Division of Wildlife here in town, as well as the local management office for the Roosevelt National Forest. Don't hesitate to do personal, telephone, and/or email interviews if you need experts you can't find around town.
