Pile Burning Informational Meeting – Estes Valley Area
November 13, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
As the first snows of winter arrive, foresters and fire managers are making plans for the pile burning season. Pile burning is an important tool used by public and private land managers to thin overgrown forests and reduce the potential damaging effects of unplanned fires — part of addressing Colorado’s wildfire crisis. Pile burning occurs under very specific conditions when temperatures have cooled and snow is present to help fire managers contain the burn. The Roosevelt National Forest, Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Valley Watershed Coalition are offering the public an opportunity to learn more about the pile burning projects planned near Estes Park, Glen Haven, Drake and Allenspark this winter. Please join us and come with your questions!
When: Nov. 13, 2023, 6:30-7:30 p.m.
Where: Estes Valley Community Center – 660 Community Dr, Estes Park, CO 80517
