Community Protests Plans For Hiking Trail Near Eagle Nest
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) - A community in Jefferson County is coming together to protest plans for a new three mile hiking trail.
Residents in Ken Caryl Ranch say the trail will threaten the habitat for Golden Eagles.
The trail, which has been approved by the Ken Caryl Master Association Board, is set to be a half of a mile from a large nest near Lockheed Martin.
That group says raptor survey showed it is "unlikely" that the nest will be disturbed.
