Thank you Gold Hill Community for your participation in Wildfire Community Preparedness Day (May 7 & 8). It was a big success with lots of education, action, and burritos!

 

SLASH DUMPSTERS

Total slash and lumber – 4 X 30 yards!

Lefthand dumpster was there only one day due to location. CMR was full in one day. Horsefal filled one dumpster and then made pile to fill second dumpster on Monday (thank you Dan M.).

Thank you to the 20 households for doing their part with 1 or more loads each to reduce fuel in our community.  And, we appreciate Stephen S, Steve A, Leslie F, Jim S, Marie B, Emily R,

Mike W, and Julien B for providing monitoring.  All slash and lumber sent to Western will become compost or be chipped.

 

GOLD HILL STORE INFO TABLES

Around 35 neighbors from Lefthand to Four Mile, subdivision to out west stopped by the GH Store to eat fresh-made GH Store burritos, sip coffee, visit with each other, discuss fire mitigation,

and learn new aspects of mitigation, forest ecology, and watershed management.  Thank you to Dina E. for helping out with the burritos! We had participation from the 

Gold Hill Fire Protection District (Jess B/Rich L), Boulder Watershed Collective (Julien B/Cat P), Wildfire Partners (Abby), and the Colo State Forest Service (Ben P).
