Sovell J and Colorado Natural Heritage Program - Colorado State University. 2008. Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site: Prairie Dog Management Plan and Environmental Assessment.. Natural Resource Report. NPS/SOPN/NRR—2008/001. Fort Collins, Colorado
The primary goal of the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site (SAND) Black-tailed Prairie Dog Management Plan is to manage for long-term, self-sustaining prairie dog populations at SAND while avoiding negative impacts to landowners that do not wish to accommodate prairie dogs on their properties. An associated effect of the Plan is the increased long-term viability of species closely dependent on the prairie dog ecosystem.
