Colorado's Greatest
Environmental Disaster

.The Pine Beetle Epidemic.
latest information

The Mountain Pine Beetle continues to destroy Colorado's forests. This year the epidemic will move in force from the Western Slope to the Front Range. We must develop a plan to mitigate the damage to our remaining forests and dispose of the dead trees before they become fuel for massive wildfires in coming years. Please read the articles linked below and then find a way to help.

A Healthy Forest Is No Accident


The mission of the Colorado State Tree Farm System is to encourage the management of private forest land for the production of forest products and the protection and enhancement of other natural resources. Our goal is to leave our woodlands healthier and more abundant for future generations. We are co-sponsored by the Colorado Timber Industry Association, The Colorado Forestry Association, and the Colorado State Forest Service. Please accept this invitation to browse our home page and get an idea of what we do and why we do it.
