Celebrating public lands at Chicken Creek

An estimated 250 people, including this father and son, showed up Sun., Dec. 15, for the “Celebration of Public Lands” at Chicken Creek, north of Mancos. The event, which was sponsored by a number of organizations, was meant to call attention to the recent unlawful fencing threatening the area while “renewing our connection and appreciation for the amazing landscape that we share,” according to organizers.
