She passed around an EPA funded booklet on the <br />wetlands of Utah. She displayed a mock -up of the Colorado booklet that has <br />a publication deadline of July 1. The issues will be contained on separate <br />pages inserted in a pocket at the inside of the back cover. <br />The Riparian Inventory <br />Nancy Fishbein reported for The Nature Conservancy's Colorado Program <br />that Rene Rondeau has been hired to work with Gwen Kittell on the 1993 <br />Riparian Inventory.
