Foxton Wildfire Mitigation Tour
Join us for a tour of wildfire mitigation projects in action along Foxton Road.
We all know that wildfire is an inherent risk of living in our beautiful forested area. But, there are ways that we can prepare ourselves for wildfire and minimize the potential for catastrophic loss.
We will tour two neighborhood properties where forest management projects have already begun. Led by Max Erickson, a forester with the Colorado State Forest Service, the tour will include an overview of wildfire risk in the area, a demonstration of what it means to conduct wildfire mitigation projects on your property, as well as Q&A opportunities with technical leads at Elk Creek Fire Rescue and Denver Mountain Parks.
RSVP by June 7th

1.3 Million Coloradans Depend on the Upper South Platte Watershed
Watch this two minute video to understand the importance of the Upper South Platte Watershed and how landowners can help make a significant long-lasting impact.
THE NEED
Wildfire and Water Protection
The Upper South Platte watershed, in the foothills west of Denver, supplies 80% of the water for Denver’s 1.3 million residents. This same area is also at an extremely high risk for large and catastrophic wildfires – think of the Buffalo Creek Fire that burned 12,000 acres over two days or the Hayman Fire that burned over 135,000 acres.
Water infrastructure is choked by flowing debris after severe wildfires. The aftermath of the Hayman Fire alone lead to 27 million dollars in dredging reservoirs and other repairs. Today, Colorado is in a critical era of water protection and increased action is required.
Landowners and concerned residents like you can play a significant role in managing the impacts of wildfire. Contact us to learn about how you can help.
