🐝❗️🐝 ACTIVE SEASON FOR WASPS 🐝❗️🐝

We are now in the active season for wasps and other stinging insects, which means you may encounter them at our parks and facilities.

Act with caution if you do run into any stinging insects — especially wasps, which tend to get more aggressive and defensive later in the summer. If you see a hive or large group of wasps or bees when using our parks and facilities, please let us know at 970-568-7410 so we can come take care of it.

Stay safe, Wellington!
