🙏A Note of Thanks

A special thank you to Jeri Burton, Keith Corrigan, and Kendall Smith for volunteering their time and energy to serve on the Board. Community governance only works because neighbors step up — and we are grateful they did.

If you are interested in serving on the Board or a committee, we encourage you to consider volunteering next year. It is a meaningful way to help shape the future of Alpine Lakes Ranch. Watch the bulletin for announcements about the 2027 annual meeting and nomination process.

We are pleased to report that we successfully moved over 100 head of cattle from Ponderosa to Coyote Park on Sunday, July 19th. Thank you to everyone who helped make that move possible.

The process will continue over the coming days. Please be patient as afternoon lightning activity is limiting our available time for the roundup. We appreciate your understanding as we work around weather conditions to complete the move safely.

The cattle are expected to remain in Coyote Park through approximately August 9th.

The ALRPOA Board has been made aware of recent theft activity at the community mailbox clusters located near the Ranch entrances. Locked boxes have been broken into and their contents stolen. We want all property owners to be informed and take precautions immediately.

📬What You Should Do

• Retrieve your mail as frequently as possible — do not allow it to accumulate.
• Avoid leaving packages or envelopes in your box overnight or over weekends.
• If you notice any damage to the mailbox cluster or suspicious activity, report it to the Archuleta County Sheriff at (970) 264-8430.
• Consider using a P.O. Box in Pagosa Springs for sensitive mail such as checks, financial statements, or legal documents.

📋Board Action

The Board will address this issue at an upcoming board meeting and will be looking at options to improve security at the mailbox areas. We will keep property owners informed as plans develop.

🤝Please Share With Your Neighbors

Not all property owners may see this bulletin. Please communicate this alert to neighbors within ALRPOA who may not be aware of the situation. The safety and security of our community depends on all of us looking out for one another.

Thank you for your vigilance and cooperation. — The ALRPOA Board of Directors

As spring and early summer conditions continue across the Ranch, we are beginning to see increased growth of thistle and other invasive weeds throughout the community. Owners are encouraged to inspect their properties regularly and treat thistle early before it flowers and spreads.

Thistle can become a significant issue on ranch properties because it:

• Spreads rapidly by seed and wind
• Competes with native grasses and forage
• Reduces pasture quality for grazing
• Creates challenges for wildlife habitat and land management
• Becomes increasingly difficult and expensive to control once established
• Can spread quickly across neighboring ranches and common areas if left untreated

Early spraying and removal are the most effective methods of prevention. Owners are encouraged to use approved herbicides or appropriate weed management practices while following all label instructions and environmental precautions.

🔎Common Thistle Identification

Owners may begin seeing:

• Canada Thistle
• Musk Thistle
• Bull Thistle

Typical characteristics include:

• Spiny leaves and stems
• Purple or pink flower heads
• Rapid vertical growth in spring and early summer
• Dense patches forming in disturbed or unmanaged areas

⏰Important Seasonal Timing

This is the critical time of year when thistle begins active growth and seed development. Treating thistle before flowering and seed production is far more effective than attempting control later in the season.

🧴Weed Control Recommendations

Common treatment methods may include:

• Spot spraying with approved broadleaf herbicides
• Hand pulling small infestations before seed formation
• Regular mowing in heavily affected areas
• Monitoring disturbed soil areas where weeds establish quickly

Owners should always:

• Follow herbicide label instructions carefully
• Avoid spraying during high winds
• Protect nearby desirable vegetation and waterways

🤝Protecting the Ranch Community

Effective weed management is a shared responsibility across the Ranch. Early action helps:

• Preserve native grasses and open space
• Support grazing quality
• Reduce long-term maintenance costs
• Improve wildfire mitigation efforts
• Protect neighboring properties from spreading infestations

Additional information and weed management guidance can also be found through the Archuleta County Weed & Pest Department and Colorado State University Extension resources.

Thank you for helping maintain the beauty, usability, and long-term health of our Ranch community.

Bears are active throughout the Ranch during spring, summer, and fall. As neighbors to wildlife, property owners play an important role in keeping both people and bears safe. The best way to avoid conflicts is to remove attractants and never intentionally feed bears.

Download the full guide below for tips on securing food, trash, and other attractants, what to do if you encounter a bear, and how to report sightings.
