DENVER ~ In a move towards thoughtful stewardship of Colorado's wildlife, natural resources, and outdoor recreation economy, Governor Jared Polis has appointed two new members to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) Commission. Frances Silva Blayney of Colorado Springs and Dr. John Emerick of Redstone have been chosen to join the commission.
Governor Polis expressed his excitement about the appointments, stating that both individuals are well-qualified and will bring people together to bridge divides. He also highlighted the diversity of the appointments, with one Democrat and one Republican, as well as representation from both the Western Slope and Pikes Peak regions. The governor believes that these appointments will help to reduce any politicization of the board.
According to Governor Polis, Frances Silva Blayney and Dr. John Emerick embody Colorado's commitment to conservation, outdoor recreation, and access. He praised their qualifications and stated that he is confident they will be strong voices on the commission for the future of Colorado's outdoor recreation, wildlife, water, and wildlands.

She co-owns Canopy Fly Fishing with her daughter and is actively involved in CPW's River Watch Program.

With her firsthand knowledge of public land use and passion for protecting ecosystems while maintaining access for sustainable recreation, Silva Blayney will be a valuable addition to the commission.
