St. Vrain Watershed

A group of people hiking through a grassy forest trail with tall pine trees under a partly cloudy sky.

The St. Vrain Watershed spans a mix of public and private lands, making collaboration essential for effective wildfire mitigation. The St. Vrain Forest Health Partnership (SVFHP) is a collaborative of 100+ partners including fire districts, agencies, towns, and community representatives. The partnership works to increase the fire resilience of our forests for the benefit of our communities, forest ecosystems, and water quality. Browse forestry projects in the watershed below.
