CPW Seeks Public Input on Potential Changes to Commercial Fur Sales Regulations

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is seeking public input to inform a regulatory proposal related to the commercial sale of furs in Colorado.

In response to direction from the Parks and Wildlife Commission, CPW has initiated a formal rulemaking process slated for the July meeting tied to a citizen petition submitted in June 2025 by the Center for Biological Diversity. The petition requests changes to Chapter W-0 regulations to prohibit the commercial sale, barter or trade of furs from furbearer species in Colorado, with limited exemptions.

Following the Commission’s direction, CPW staff will develop an issue paper outlining the regulatory considerations and potential changes to current rules. The issue paper will be presented to the Commission for action at its July 16–17, 2026 meeting.

CPW is now seeking public input to help inform the development of that issue paper.

Members of the public are encouraged to review information and submit comments to CPW through EngageCPW.org.

Public input will be accepted from April 7 through May 3, 2026.
