Project Partner: Boulder Watershed Collective

In partnership with the Boulder Watershed Collective, and Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS), regional government agencies, and neighboring landowners, the project aims to manage 43 acres in Arapaho Forest, in the Colorado Rockies. The project will maintain an area that has a high potential for fire danger, in order to prevent a forest fire the area will thin out tree density. Thinning out tree density and overgrown underbrush will create a healthier and more diverse ecosystem. This work protects critical drinking water sources and is in an area particularly vulnerable to drought, wildfires, and land development.

The Arkansas Mountain Fuels Reduction Project is a 92-acre forest restoration and wildfire mitigation initiative located in a dense mountain neighborhood west of Boulder, CO. Situated about two miles from the City of Boulder water treatment plant at Betasso Preserve, the project spans over 10 private properties and connects to a 300-acre fuels reduction effort completed by Boulder County in 2017 on Parks and Open Space lands.
