Cloud seeding program not harming western Colorado wildlife

  • 16 years ago
There's been criticism out, insisting cloud seeding brought snow to parts of Gunnison County, even as wildlife managers scrambled to feed Mule deer, left without grazing land by heavy snow drifts. News 8 has learned this may not be the case.

Department of wildlife officials say, where the snow from cloud seeding has been going, is not where wildlife are being fed. Because of this winter's deep snow pack the D-O-W has been going out to feed deer, and other wildlife left without grazing land.

Many people were worried the cloud seeding was creating more snow, and therefore hindering the feeding efforts. The D-O-W doesn't use taxpayer money, but Governor Ritter recently released state funds to help pay for this effort.
