Requires the Secretary, in implementing this Act, to consult with the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, the Colorado State Forest Service, the Colorado State Conservation Board, Great Outdoors Colorado, and the Boards of County Commissioners of Boulder, Jefferson, and Gilpin Counties, Colorado.
