 Snow Squad program needs volunteers
The Snow Squad is a volunteer program administered by the City of Littleton to provide snow removal for city residents who are physically unable to shovel their sidewalks themselves.
The Snow Squad has many citizens who have been unsuccessful in enlisting the help of a family member, friend or neighbor to perform this service.
If you can spare an hour to help whenever we have measurable snow, and are looking for a way to give back to your community, please contact the City of Littleton Neighborhood Resources Coordinator at 303-795-3778. This is the perfect opportunity for students who are looking for ways to volunteer! Please read the Snow Squad Guidelines. |

 LPD offers some tips on coyotes
The issue of human-coyote interaction has been a popular topic in many circles recently. The issue is timely as coyote pups will begin to emerge from their dens during the spring months. It is important to remember that coyotes can live in almost any environment, and many have adapted to living in an urban area. Humans should practice avoidance as much as possible when dealing with coyotes, particularly if there is a den in the neighborhood. While coyotes are typically afraid of human interaction, they can get aggressive on occasion. More coyote information |
