Field Tour: Forsythe II Broadcast Burn
Friday, March 24

The BWC is excited to offer a field opportunity to join the local USDA Forest Service’s leaders on a site visit of an upcoming prescribed burn (broadcast burn) to be started this spring by firefighters from the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, as well as local cooperators and partners. Numerous forest restoration projects have been completed in this area to prepare for prescribed fire, which is an important step in protecting communities, watersheds, and forests from high intensity and high severity wildfires. There will be no active fire on this tour. Come learn from local Forest Service fire managers about how they design a prescribed burn, what weather conditions are required for prescribed burning operations, what the objectives of project include, and what it means to live in a fire-adapted ecosystem.
