On 215 acres, we reduced the risk of wildfire to several communities in the Taylor River Watershed from 2 angles: Removing ladder fuels on public USFS lands and creating defensible space near homes (see photos) thanks to funds from @NationalForests.

We talk a lot about creating #Defensiblespace because it works! Low-cost, simple tasks can reduce the risk of wildfire to your home, family and property. Today's #MitigationMonday tip gives step-by-step instructions to clear around propane tanks.

Our seedling tree nursery had a special visitor this week!

Black bears are often seen in the foothills west of Fort Collins, so it wasn't too surprising to see this guy on the Foothills Campus of @ColoradoStateU.

Eight Colorado counties will receive $1.6 million to improve their urban tree canopies, due to the Colorado Inflation Reduction Act Urban & Community Forestry grants! Woo hoo!

Thousands of slash piles could be chipped and used as carbon-rich feedstock for urban composting systems. This alternative could reduce carbon emissions, improve soil health and enhance water retention. #ForestProductsWeek

Self-care looks different for everyone. In the fall we look to forests, fresh air, exercise and dogs to unplug, regroup and take care. 10/10 recommend.

Start a new fall tradition as warm and aromatic as pumpkin spice latte...clear the debris and leaves out of the gutters and roof.

We have to #LiveWildfireReady all year round!

Entomologist Dan West always has the scoop on the #Colorado #fallcolors; how does he know? Dan flies aerial surveys in the summer for insect & disease monitoring. He looks for forest health trends to know when & where fall colors will pop! Stay tuned for 2024 predictions.
