Join members of the Red Feather Lakes Area Wildfire Defense Project's Advisory Team for a roadway treatments tour!
This tour will highlight past, current, and future roadway treatments on public and private lands. Roadway wildfire mitigation treatments focus on clearing and managing vegetation along roads to reduce the risk of wildfire spread and improve evacuation routes. This includes creating firebreaks, maintaining defensible space, and improving overall forest health.
The Red Feather Lakes Area Wildfire Defense Project will improve the wildfire defense of the entire Red Feather Lakes area, accomplished through specific risk reduction and preparedness activities. Project activities will occur within the geographic boundaries (see map below) defined in the four current Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs) (see below) and are designed to meet goals outlined in these current CWPPs. Project activities will include: wildfire mitigation treatments in open space, along roadways and on private properties; education on home ignition zone concepts and mitigation work to establish or improve defensible space; improvements to community wildfire evacuation routes, plans and procedures; and enhancing of community capacity to deal with post-treatment woody biomass.
