Sterling Ranch offers the ability to live in a wonderful rural environment with nature and plentiful wild animals. As part of that comes the responsibility of caring for the environment and being aware of what is happening in our surroundings.
As of July 29, 2020, the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment has reported four (4) cases of bubonic plague in the Denver area with the nearest reported case in Jefferson County. There has not yet been any reported in Douglas County, but it is something the CAB is monitoring and everyone should be aware and take some precaution.
One of the animals that transmits the plague into a community is the prairie dog. These cute rodents are a keystone species and are very important to the ecosystem. They have adapted well and are plentiful. At Sterling Ranch there are areas identified which are prime habitat for healthy and sustainable prairie dog populations to thrive. However, steps must be taken to protect health of families living on Sterling Ranch and their pets.
The Sterling Ranch Prairie Management Plan was developed with the best data to respond to the natural environment. As directed by the plan, prairie dog holes should not be within 500 feet of homes or 100 feet of trails. Colonies can have up to 25 prairie dogs to the acre to maintain a healthy ecosystem. So far, this has not been a problem due to the heathy and vibrant raptor population and other natural predators.
To keep yourself and your family safe, please use the following safety precautions when using the open spaces within Sterling Ranch:
-
Notify staff at info@sterlingranchcab.com concerning potential colony crowding issues or if colonies are within 500 feet of homes/ 100 feet of trails.
- To avoid fleas, do not directly handle any wildlife or play in prairie dog colonies.
- Don’t let dogs or cats hunt prairie dogs, other rodents, or rabbits to avoid pets bringing fleas into the home.
- Domestic cats should be an indoor species to avoid disease transmission and to protect the animal from the multiple day-time and nighttime predators found at Sterling Ranch.
-
If you observe sick or injured wildlife call Colorado Parks and Wildlife at 303-291-7227 or visit www.cpw.state.co.us.
- Do not feed wildlife as this attracts them to you property, brings them in close contact and increases the risk for disease transmission.
If you have any questions regarding how to live with wildlife or any of the items mentioned on this page, please feel free to contact info@sterlingranchcab.com a nd staff will get back to you.

Steward Upcoming Webinar
You’re invited! If you would like to learn more information about Steward, above and beyond what is in this article, join us for a live webinar all about the Steward system.
Webinar Details:
Time: August 25 at 10 AM
If you cannot join, this live webinar will be posted on our website at:
Steward Information
Did you know that Steward was developed specifically for the Sterling Ranch Community? Several parties have worked together to produce a technology solution that automates and supports your lifestyle in the community. Your smart home will only continue to improve as we continue to put efforts towards software development and other technology initiatives.
Steward can do so much! In case you have not had much time to familiarize yourself with the Steward system we would love to touch on a few things that this interface can do:
- Control Home Automation Devices - Easily control things like door locks, thermostats, lights and much more.
- Utilities – Monitor and set budgets for gas, electric and water
- Built in self-monitoring security – Receive push notifications when motion is detected or a monitored door is opened in your home
- Community Updates and Notifications – Easily access CAB updates to see what is going on in Sterling Ranch
So how exactly does Steward work? Picture Steward as the pretty face to interact with all of the technology in your home. Steward shows and allows you to control Homeseer which is the smart home hub that controls all of your z-wave devices. Steward also reports all of the utility information that is generated from the Copper Labs hardware in your home. An extensive DSC security system that is included in your home can also be armed/disarmed through Steward. Beyond these things, Steward is capable of much more and be sure to check out our website to learn more:
One cool thing Steward can do – Events
An Event is something programmed into the Steward/Homeseer interface that causes a device to automatically respond to a certain prompt. The best example of this is the homeowners at Sterling Ranch that have their front porch lights turn on at Sunset and turn off at Sunrise. If you would like to set up any of these events yourself please check out the video in this link (skip to 5:34 for event set up):
Would you like to learn more or do you need assistance with your Steward system?

Grilling Safety Tips from South Metro Fire Dept |
|
In Colorado, grilling season lasts 365 days (366 this year), but summer is prime time for cooking on a grill. Meats, veggies, fruit kabobs, pizza; the only limit to grilling is one’s imagination… and safety.
A family in Lone Tree started their grill to make dinner on July 20 of this year, but something went wrong. The fire expanded beyond the grill, through the open sliding door and into the home. The 2-alarm fire destroyed their home and displaced families on either side of them.
Across the United States, grilling contributes to over 10,000 home fires and nearly 20,000 injuries, according to the NFPA. Many of them originate on balconies in apartments, condominiums, and townhomes, but they also occur at single-family homes and, occasionally, at other buildings where grills are used such as places of worship and businesses. Read the full article at the link below!
