Coexistence with Wildlife Policy

On Aug. 24, 2010, Broomfield City Council adopted the Coexistence with Wildlife Policy.

This policy was drafted to do the following: 

  1. To increase the community’s knowledge and understanding of how to safely live with wildlife; 
  2. To foster an appreciation and enjoyment of local wildlife; and 
  3. To develop guidelines for response to conflicts with wildlife.

Wildlife and Environmental Clearance Letter Required

Prior to development or construction on land in Broomfield, a 20-day wildlife and environmental clearance letter is required and must be approved by Broomfield staff. The purpose of this letter is to confirm that any environmental or wildlife concerns on the site have been reviewed and addressed prior to construction activities on the land. View more information on Development Review and the 20-day clearance letter here.
