Christo and the sheep
Like many here in the Arkansas River Valley, across Colorado and around the world, we're eagerly awaiting Christo and Jeanne-Claude's Over the River. Despite the delayed exhibition schedule, our communities are already benefitting from this two-week temporary work of art.
For example, Christo is funding a large bighorn sheep habitat enhancement program currently underway near Parkdale. This effort is very similar to the $100,000 Colorado Parks and Wildlife project near Howard that was recently reported in the Salida Mountain Mail.
The key differences are that Christo's habitat improvement is designed solely for the benefit of the Canyon's bighorn sheep, and the project is entirely privately funded by the artist. The site was identified by the Division of Wildlife because it provides local herds with access to nearly 200 acres of habitat previously unsuitable for sheep. Over the River is also funding a separate adaptive management program that now allows state biologists to collect data about our local bighorn sheep that has never before been available.
