Please remove your yard's marking flags (often placed for sprinkler maintainance, fertilizer warnings, and digging preparation) when your project is done. 

While wildlife is common in the Pine Creek area, please do not encourage human/animal encounters by feeding the wildlife. Mice, rabbits, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, and other rodents can carry and spread disease via fleas, droppings, urine, nesting materials, and bites which can lead to problems with Hantavirus and Plague, Rabies, and Tularemia. Please do not leave garbage, pet food, or leftovers outside, and do not set out food for rabbits or squirrels. This both attracts wild animal and increases the chance of a harmful encounter, both for your home and those nearby.  

Most dangerous and potentially harmful encounters with wildlife occur because people fail to leave the animals alone.

It is illegal in Colorado to feed deer. Violators may be fined.

Do you know the official rules for properly displaying the U.S. flag?

• Display the flag outside from sunrise to sunset. If you want to fly it after dark, it will need to be lit.
• Don’t fly the flag during inclement weather, unless it’s an all-weather flag.
• The union of the flag--the blue section with white stars--should be placed at the peak of the staff
• When the flag is displayed on a flat surface like a wall, the union should be at the top left.
• The flag should never touch anything beneath it, so make sure it’s hoisted at the proper height.
• Half-staff: During periods of mourning, it is common to see the flag flying at half-staff. Only presidents can proclaim such periods for a national remembrance. Governors can also declare mourning periods at a local level. Traditionally, states and local governments follow the president’s proclamation during a period of national mourning.
• Take care of your flag. Store your flag in a well-ventilated area. If it gets wet, make sure it’s completely dry before storing it.
• If the flag is damaged or worn out, it should be burned and disposed of with dignity.
