Wildfire & forestry management
Wildfire is a risk across Colorado, where dry seasons, dry vegetation, human error, and lightning strikes can come together to ignite and fuel devastating forest fires. Forestry management and wildfire‑mitigation practices play an important role in reducing the likelihood and spread of these events. Explore publications from CSU Extension along with additional wildfire and forestry‑management resources to support informed, sustainable practices across the state.
