Colorado Forest Insect and Disease Update

The state’s ongoing forest health concerns are due to a combination 
of factors that impact forest health, including poor stand 
conditions, long-term drought and warmer temperatures. In 
addition, many of our mountain forests have become unhealthy 
and overly dense, setting the stage for future insect and disease 
outbreaks, potentially devastating wildfires and the dangerous 
floods that often follow. These risks present both challenges and 
opportunities​
