If you are concerned about the impacts of wildfire and protecting your home from the impacts of future wildfire, you may be eligible for a site assessment and funding for the cost of fuels mitigation around your home to reduce your risk of wildfire impacts. Call the Districts today to sign up for a site assessment and for more information. 970.878.9838 or email forestry.districts@gmail.com. 
Stay tuned for select dates in 2027 for Community Chipping Days! Trim trees and slash from around your home and structures, pile the slash at the end of your driveway and sign up to have it chipped and removed.
