Welcome to the first public meeting of the Poudre Canyon Environmental Group (PCEG)!
The PCEG was formed by former PCG Sierra Club members and longtime conservation leaders in Larimer County and beyond to address a broad range of environmental issues affecting northern Colorado. We are active on issues related to air and water quality, land conservation, wildlife, land use, public lands, local actions on climate change, and recreational opportunities. With our first program, we’d like to invite you to a public meeting where you can ask questions, join us, and hear a timely presentation on the status of the wolf reintroduction effort in Colorado.
Please join us on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at the River Rock Commons Community Center, 520 N Sherwood Street, Fort Collins, 80521 (map). We will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a short social time, followed by the speaker at 7:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome, so spread the word. Please help us plan ahead by RSVPing at this link if you would like to attend.
About Our Speaker: Dr. Stewart Breck
About Our Speaker: Dr. Stewart Breck
Dr. Stewart Breck recently retired from the USDA-National Wildlife Research Center and is beginning the next chapter of his career. His work focuses on the emerging issues associated with the management and conservation of large carnivores in a human dominated world. Dr. Breck attained his Bachelor’s and PhD degrees in ecology and wildlife biology from Colorado State University, and his Master’s Degree at the University of Nevada Reno. He served on the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Wolf Reintroduction Technical Advisory Group from 2022 to 2023. Dr. Breck was a research wildlife biologist in carnivore ecology and management with the National Wildlife Research Center from 2001 through 2025. He is also the founder and leader of the CSU’s Center for Human-Carnivore Coexistence, which began in 2019.
Dr. Breck’s current interests and energy are focused on recovery of endangered black-footed ferrets and Mexican wolves, and reducing conflict between people and bears in urban and agricultural environments. He is based at Colorado State University and is a member of the Human-Bear Conflict Expert Team for the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Bear Specialist Group.
Dr. Breck's presentation will feature the current, and future outlook for Colorado’s wolf reintroduction effort. The gray wolf is native to Colorado, but was eradicated from the state by the mid-1940s. Voters passed Proposition 114 in November 2020, which directed the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission to develop a plan to introduce and manage gray wolves in Colorado west of the Continental Divide no later than December 31, 2023. The efforts and the controversy continue.
