University News
New study shows the impact trail recreation has on deer, elk in the Gunnison Basin
Western graduate student Chloe Beaupré—alongside Western faculty and Colorado Parks & Wildlife partners—led a rigorous camera‑based study in the Upper Gunnison Basin that reveals elk avoid high‑traffic trails, exhibiting a significant drop in presence within ~600–655 meters, whereas mule deer tend to appear more frequently near busy trail corridors, likely benefiting from a “human shield” effect. This research highlights WCU’s leadership in science‑based recreation planning and underscores the importance of trail design, seasonal closures, and wildlife‑friendly management to preserve healthy ungulate habitat in Gunnison Valley.
