DescriptionA - Latest Addendum

Project:
Thinning and defensible space treatments on 42.6 acres of mixed conifer forest in Southern Teller County, CO.
Project Description:
ARWC has worked closely with three neighborhoods in Southern Teller County to educate landowners on how they can protect their homes and property from the damaging effects of wildfire and generate interest in performing fuel mitigation. Through this process we engaged 10 landowners who are interested in mitigating their properties. We received funding from the Colorado State Forest Service to implement fuels treatments under the USFS Forest Restoration and Wildfire Risk Mitigation Grant, which aims to reduce the risk of wildfire to people, property and infrastructure in the wildland-urban interface (WUI), promote forest health and forest restoration projects, and encourage use of woody material for traditional forest products and biomass energy. Our goal is to provide protection to individual homes and properties as well as the greater community in Southern Teller County. These treatments are designed to alter fire behavior and provide firefighters with opportunities to suppress fire and minimize impacts.
