Walk with Forester through part of the Gold Hill Mitigation Project

Posted on: June 30th, 2021
Please join the Boulder Watershed Collective for a walk with Ben Pfohl, Supervisory Forester from the Colorado State Forest Service, to learn more about how a forester sees the forest.  In addition to decreasing wildfire risk, we are stiving to improve the health of local forests.  We will learn what landscape characteristics provide indicators of forest health specifically around Gold Hill and how the forest would benefit from restoration.
 
Who: Gold Hill Residents
What: Walk With a Forester
When: Friday, July 2 from 3-5 pm
Where:  Meet at the Bluebird Lodge to walk the North Trail
Why: To Understand Indicators of Forest Health 
 

This is an informal walk intended to generate questions and conversation along the way.  We will walk a portion of the North Trail through the forest treatment area.  This will be a slow paced, easy walk.  Topics might range from tree species, forest density, slopes, mistletoe/beetles, previous mitigation, etc.  Forest restoration is not just about thinning trees! Learn about the complex decisions that inform restoration projects.

I recognize that the Boulder Creek watershed sits upon land within the territories of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho peoples. Further, I acknowledge that 48 contemporary tribal nations are tied to the lands that make up the state of Colorado.
